Oklahoma incoming freshman Trae Young won't be heading to the USA U19 trials in Colorado Springs next week.
"I want to say thank you to USA Basketball for giving me the opportunity to try out for the U19 National team," he wrote in a Twitter post. "It does not go unappreciated. But after discussing with my family and OU coaching staff, I have decided not to attend the USA 19U trials this year. I think it's important for me to continue to build a strong foundation with my coaches and teammates before the 2017-18 season begins.
