    Larry Turner, a 6?11? center out of Tennessee State University, In August of last year, who had been sent by TSU to the Philippines for six weeks of training under Kirk Collier, the skills coach of San Miguel Beer and Ginebra San Miguel in the Philippine Basketball Association. ?I?m very happy for Larry, he?s a really good person,? Collier told The Star. ?If he stays with the team beyond Jan. 10, then his contract will be binding.? Collier worked with Turner on his post moves and perimeter game, and believes the former Oklahoma player will be a good fit. ?He has a long way to go, but he?s earned this opportunity,? says Collier, who originally came to train the players of Red Bull of the PBA. ?What he has to do now is fit in, and not try to be a big scorer right away.?
