After transferring to Wilkes from Division I Northeastern, Turner wasted little time making an impact on a deep and talented Colonels squad. He was a key contributor in the middle of back-to-back berths into the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight as well as a MAC Championship in 1996. In just two years with the program, Turner totaled 987 points, 593 rebounds, 84 assists, 102 steals and 89 blocked shots. He was a two-time All-Freedom Conference selection as well as a two-time NABC Regional All-American. Turner was named ECAC Player of the Year in 1996 after averaging 16.8 points and 11.2 rebounds per-game as a senior. One of the finest athletes to play at Wilkes, Turner remains ranked in the top ten in several season statistical categories including rebounds, blocked shots and free throws made.
