College basketball has a new crush. In the last two months, just about everyone who watches, talks about, writes about or coaches the game has fallen head over heels for Oklahoma's Trae Young.
Young is, in so many ways, the point guard next door. While most of the fall's freshman pre-ogling was reserved for big men like Duke's Marvin Bagley III, Texas' Mo Bamba and Arizona's DeAndre Ayton, Young flew largely under the radar on his 4.4-mile journey from Norman North High School to the Lloyd Nobel Center on Oklahoma's campus. Nevertheless, the 6-foot-2 point guard has captured the attention of the nation in just two months with his fast, fearless playing style and an anywhere/anytime jump shot.
