2018 HS - Trace Young - 6'8" SF

BillySee58 · April 1, 2018

6'8" 180 lb small forward originally from Hartford, KY currently playing at Mt Zion Prep in Baltimore (prep school where Mark Tikhonenko spent a year). Also played for Huntington Prep in WV for a year when he was in high school. Has a good outside shot and has point forward skills. Could project for us as an Allante Holston type defensive role, yet with top-not offensive skills.

We have offered. Also has been offered at various points in his recruitment by USC, DePaul, Kansas State, WKU, and South Florida among other schools. His recruitment is really picking back up as Indiana State, Canisius, Howard, and Wyoming apparently all offered today.

Would be a blessing to get this kid!

Wowzers! Would be a huge pickup for us.

Andrew · April 1, 2018

This is exactly what we need! I was hoping for a Jordan Williams style player and this kid seems to fill that void with a little more height and versatility in the post. We land him and we will be dangerous next year (more dangerous than we already will be).

Verbal Commits says he signed with Wyoming.

wyoming? has he been to wyoming in the winter? It is miserable and the night life lacks.

Harry · April 17, 2018

Sorry to lose him. Hate to lose to Wyoming.

It's always in the back of my mind to see how these snow schools fair holding onto their student athletes after a year.

Might be worth checking in on this one in 10 months.

FYI, Wyoming won the CBI last year but, despite winning 20 games this year, stayed at home for the postseason.

i had a friend who played football for wyoming and he told me it was miserable in the winter, it was his only div 1 school offer so he stayed all four years.
