It will be fun to see him at NU next fall whether it is at QB or some other position. He will be a very special player

Evaluation
Russell Shepard 2.0, 2011 edition. Turner is one of the most exciting skilled athletes this class has to offer. He is a dual-threat QB out of the shotgun spread, but most of the damage he does is with his legs. With the reference to Shepard-- his style, throwing motion and skill set is almost a mirror image. He is a lean and sleak player with good height.

A reality check...
Russell Shepard is not listed on LSU's depth chart at either QB or WR... He graduated early to participate in spring practice and played some at WR last season... He is either injured or behind six players at WR and even a true Frosh is listed at QB.
The something borrowed is sophomore Russell Shepard, who came to LSU as a quarterback in 2009 but dabbled at receiver, tailback and quarterback. Now he is devoted almost exclusively to slot receiver.
