Oklahoma Basketball: Top Recruit Trae Young Officially Becomes a Sooner

On Wednesday, head coach Lon Kruger received the signed commitment letter from five-star prospect Trae Young and two other members of the 2017 recruiting class to play their college basketball at Oklahoma

For Young, who lives in Norman and attends Norman North High School, he won’t have to go far for his college experience. The Sooners also received signed letters of intent from 6-foot, 7-inch four-star forward Brady Manek and 6-foot, 11-inch center Hannes Polla from Finland.

Young, who averaged 43 points, six rebounds and four assists a game as a high school senior and was named a McDonald’s All-American, is expected to handle the point guard duties next season for the Sooners.
