Found this article and he is a Center prospect that has just visited Utah, Syracuse, and NC State. No mention of Oregon State, but he is a talented big man that could provide rebounding.

This is from the article.

Another player the coaching class is targeting is five-star international player Omer Yurtseven. At 6-foot-11 and 230 pounds, Yurtseven would sure up the post position after Kaleb Tarczewski and Ryan Anderson's departure.

Scout interviewed him at the beginning of March when he said he'd be taking his visits in June, meaning Arizona may not know their final piece until midway through summer workouts. According to Draft Express, Yurtseven is a projected top-10 NBA Draft pick in the 2017 draft, which shows the talent people believe he possesses. They also offered this analysis:

"Omer Yurtseven, a 6-foot-11 sturdy post prospect, is an impressive scoring post prospect. He's equipped with good hands and impressive touch around the basket. When he posts up he favors a right jump hook over his left shoulder. But it doesn't stop there. He does a good job of securing good post position on the block and finishes well with either hand at the rim. He can also face up and make a mid-range jump shot. His form and shot mechanics are good. Now his range doesn't extend deep, but with time and effort, he'll eventually be able to step out further. Yurtseven, although not an explosive athlete, is deceptive athletically, as he moves fluidly, runs hard and gets off the ground better than you'd expect on first glance. While his frame isn't overly thick, he does have a wide base and has a solid build. Yurtseven does a very good job rebounding his area and is especially effective as an offensive rebounder, as he pursues put back opportunities."

Besides Arizona, the Istanbul native is also considering Utah, Cal, Oregon, Miami, UNC, NC State, Arizona State, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mizzou, Ohio State, Georgia Tech, USC and Texas. In other words, it's still early in the recruiting process for him.
