Leandro Garcia-Morales of
Miami-Dade Community College
and Kevin Turner of Fullerton
College have signed national let-
ters-of-intent to play college bas
ketball at Texas A&M, head coach

Garcia-Morales, a 6-foot-1-
inch point guard, was the only
player in the country to rank in
the top 10 in the National Junior
College Athletic Association in
scoring (7th, 22.9), assists (5th,
9.0) and steals (10th, 3.6). He
also ranked 13th in free throw
percentage (.858) and was
named to the All-Region VIII
team by the NJCAA.
Garcia-Morales led the Sharks
to a 20-11 record and second
place in the Southern Conference
of Florida Community Colleges.
Rated as the No. 6 junior col
lege prospect in the country by
recruiting analyst Rick Ball, he
was also recruited by Miami,
North Carolina State, Florida
International, Utah, Southern
California, Kansas State, Xavier,
San Diego State and Auburn.
A native of Uruguay, Garcia-
Morales played his freshman sea
son at Lynn University in Florida,
where he earned NCAA Division
II honorable mention All-America
honors and All-Freshman Team
honors after averaging 12.0 points,
4.3 assists and making 80.8 per
cent from the free throw line.
“Leandro helps fill our need at
point guard, where we struggled
last season,” Watkins said. “He is
an excellent floor general who can
run a team, but he also has the
ability to shoot the basketball.”
Turner, a 6-foot-2-inch
shooting guard, ranked seventh
in California in scoring (22.5)
and led the Orange Empire
Conference in scoring in league
games (23.9). He also led the
conference in three-point per
centage in league play, connect
ing on 53.9 percent (41-76).
