Lamonte Turner Transfers TO Prep Power

Lamonte Turner has been a name everyone has become familiar with within the last year or so. The 6-foot-2 lead guard decided to transfer from Sparkman High School in Harvest, AL to prep power Arlington Country Day in Jacksonville, Florida. Turner will reclassify from 2015 to 2016, which may increase his national ranking and stock as he will have an extra year to improve his weaknesses.

This past season, Turner lead his Sparkman Senators to the state championship game falling to Mountain Brook. In the semifinal game, Turner erupted for 26 points beating top-ranked Carver-Montgomery who features at least 8 division-one prospects. 


Turner is currently ranked #3 in our class of 2015 rankings, but will have to be removed due to his relocation outside of Alabama.

We did a Q&A with Lamonte right before he leaves for ACD at 4 A.M. tomorrow morning.
