Oklahoma Basketball Wins Battle for Top Recruit Trae Young

This represents a huge recruiting victory for Lon Kruger and the Sooners, who are currently one of the youngest teams in the country, led by mostly freshmen and sophomores, and are suffering through a disappointing 9-16 season after reaching the Final Four less than 10 months ago.

Young’s commitment to become a Sooner in the fall of 2017 can be likened in magnitude to the recruiting decisions made in year’s past by a pair of other highly-touted prospects from the Sooner State: Blake Griffin, from Oklahoma City, and the late, great Wayman Tisdale, from Tulsa.
