COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Texas A&M men's basketball senior guard Elston Turner was named one of the top shooters in the country this week by CBSSports.com college basketball insider Jeff Goodman.
Turner, who ranked 19th on the list, made his A&M debut last season after transferring from the University of Washington
During his first season on the court for the Aggies, Turner was named Honorable Mention All-Big 12.
