McDonald's East All-American Myles Turner, of Bedford, Texas, competes in the three-point shootout during the McDonald's All-American Jam Fest at the University of Chicago in Chicago, on Monday, March 31, 2014.

By around 3 p.m. Wednesday, we’ll know if Bill Self’s Class of 2014 recruiting haul includes two McDonald’s All-Americans or three.

The No. 9-ranked high school senior in the nation according to Rivals.com, 6-foot-11 center Myles Turner will announce his intentions to sign with the men’s basketball program at either Kansas University, Texas, SMU, or maybe even Duke, Oklahoma State, Ohio State or Texas A&M during a news conference airing live on ESPNU.

The five-star big man with a three-point shooting stroke, from Euless, Texas, has heard recruiting pitches from some of the top college basketball coaches in the country. And over the past month, as a participant at the McDonald’s All-American Game, Jordan Brand Classic and Nike Hoops Summit, many of the other top players in the country have been in Turner’s ear, as well.

In a video for USA Today (below), Turner asked for sales pitches from his potential future teammates who were at the McDonald’s game, played the first week of April in Chicago. Duke’s Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow, Ohio State’s D’Angelo Russell and SMU’s Emanuel Mudiay all provided the pros of going to play with them.

So did KU signee Kelly Oubre, who acknowledged Turner had a tough decision on his hands.

“Come to Kansas if you feel it’s
necessary, you know. We most
definitely will rock the fieldhouse
with you. … No matter where you go,
you’re gonna succeed, bro. But, rock
chalk, we do want you — most
definitely.”

In a one-on-one interview with USA Today before the McDonald’s game, Turner said Kansas signees Oubre and Cliff Alexander took a hands-off approach, as far as recruiting him face-to-face in Chicago (2:40 mark of below video). But he also said he didn’t mind that.

Turner also said one of his biggest goals is to win a national championship, and he made it sound like he doesn’t care about being the focal point of a team.

“You’re not gonna want to go somewhere
and feel like everybody’s depending on
you or everybody’s, you know, counting
on you to do these certain things.”

That certainly bodes well for Kansas, where Turner would be joined by not only Alexander and Oubre, but also experienced college players, such as Perry Ellis, Wayne Selden, Jamari Traylor, Naadir Tharpe, Frank Mason and Conner Frankamp.

In New York, for the Jordan festivities, an injury kept Turner from playing, but that didn’t stop a group of Jayhawks on hand from letting the coveted center know he should choose KU. Alexander and Oubre, as well as one-and-done 7-footer Joel Embiid, were in attendance. Chris Johnson of SI.com got the lowdown on their back-and-forths with Turner from Alexander, co-MVP of the Jordan all-star game on April 18.

“Me, Kelly and Joel have been talking
to him. Joel talked to him earlier
today at the hotel, trying to get him
to commit. Hopefully he does that.”

It sounds like Oubre was more hands on this time, too, making it clear that weekend he wants Turner in a Kansas uniform next season.

“I know now he has Kansas on his final
cut list or whatever. And I feel like
we’re the best place for him, and I
want him to come to Kansas real bad.”

In Portland, Ore., for the Nike Hoops Summit a week earlier, Turner sat down for a YouTube interview with Da’Love Woods. And it appears he knows exactly what he’d be jumping into at KU.

“Lawrence, they take their basketball
seriously down there. It’s really cool
feeling that love when you go down
there, and that whole atmosphere.”

He made his last official visit of the recruiting circuit to Texas, and Turner said he knew what would eventually help him make his decision.

“Wherever I feel the most comfortable,
that’s where my heart’s gonna be set.”

So, what will some lucky program be getting in Turner? Basically, a unique combination of length and athleticism with a guard’s mentality.

The wait is almost over.
