Both Turgeon and assistant coach Bino Ranson, who grew up in Baltimore and oversees the program’s recruiting in the city, have spoken by telephone with Barton. The 6-foot-2 point guard has also heard from Maryland guard Nick Faust, a close friend and Barton’s godbrother “[Faust] said it would be a perfect fit for me inside and outside the program,” Barton said.
From what Barton has seen of the Terps on television, he doesn’t disagree “I think it’s a great system, and a great system for me,” he said, adding that other schools he is considering also play a style that fits his skills.
Other schools that Barton verified were on the list include Syracuse and Kansas State. Like Maryland, those schools are also in need of an experienced point guard. Kansas State assistant coach Chester Frazier is from Baltimore and, like Barton, played for Lake Clifton and the Cecil Kirk-based Amateur Athletic Union team.
My take: Watch the videos of Barton playing for Memphis. There is no question that he can handle and shoot the ball. His presence will immediately upgrade the offense.
