Trae Young, a smooth and skilled Class of 2017 point guard out of Norman (OK) North High, visited Duke on Sunday and picked up a scholarship offer.
“Had a Great Unofficial Visit, Beyond Blessed to Receive an Offer from Coach K!” he Tweeted
“I’m heading there [to Duke] with my eyes open to everything and I’m going to listen to everything they have to say,” Young said at the NBPA Top 100 Camp before. “Building a relationship with Coach [Jon] Scheyer and Coach K has been awesome. I’m going to go there and enjoy it and have my eyes open…I’ll be heading there Sunday after camp.”
Young’s family also has a connection with Duke assistant Jeff Capel: Trae was actually a ball boy for Capel at Oklahoma back when Capel coached there.
“When Jeff Capel lived in Oklahoma and coached at OU our family was really close,” he said. “I used to be a ball boy there, too.”
Young said Duke has compared him to another Blue Devil point guard.
“They compare me to when Tyus Jones was in high school offering him his sophomore summer so there’s a lot of stuff we talk about,” said Young.
