Young, who is listed as 6'9" and 225 lb. on his 247 Sports profile page, had recently taken visits to Marquette and Providence, with the trip to Rhode Island coming this past weekend. His father had the standard issue "the visit went very well" lines communicated to SNY's Adam Zagoria for both the Marquette and Providence visits, but the first recruit that says his visit completely sucked will be the first one in recorded history.
