Trae Young capped off a momentous July by cutting his list to six schools.
The 6-foot-2 point guard from Norman (OK) North and MoKan Elite is down to Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Washington.
Young, who won the Peach Jam with MoKan Elite and then captured a gold medal with the USA U18 team at the FIBA Americas Championship, broke down all six schools for Rivals.com. He also said he plans to visit all six and may wait until the winter to decide.
Via Rivals:
Kansas: “To have the chance to play somewhere like Allen Fieldhouse is a great opportunity. Coach Self uses and develops guards really well and gets them ready for the league.”
Kentucky: “I love the way coach Cal goes about things. I really like that it’s about business and he puts the team in a spot to compete for a championship each year.”
Oklahoma: “Coach Kruger and I have a great relationship and have continued to build on it these past two years. And I live in Norman so playing close to home would be great.”
Oklahoma State: “They have a new coaching staff with coach Underwood and I feel like he’s going to turn things around. I would just love to be part of that and help turn the program around.”
Texas Tech: “That’s where my dad went and the thought of going there and leaving a legacy, that would be really cool for me and my family.”
Washington: “I’ve developed a great relationship with coach Romar and really got a chance to talk to Markelle Fultz about why he committed there and also continuing to play with Mike (Porter) would be great too since we already know each other so well.”
