What's Next for Oklahoma's Star Freshman Trae Young?

PITTSBURGH – Some 50 minutes had passed since the final horn in what was likely his final game at this level of the sport, and still college basketball was not yet done with Trae Young. He stood beside a gray covered trash can in an arena hallway, just outside his Oklahoma team’s locker room, his face brightened by a pair of TV camera lights that cast a larger silhouette of himself on the off-white cinderblock wall behind him. A dozen or so reporters were gathered before him, peppering him with questions, not only about the Sooners’ 83-78 overtime loss to Rhode Island but also the turbulent season before it and where his career would head next.
