Jeff Borzello, ESPN: Trae Young Tops Freshman Class

I think we all knew Trae wouldn’t be around too long. Articles like this and all of the attention he has received on a national scale, will only increase the odds that he will be a high draft pick when the season is over.

The only thing we can do is to support this team and, as CT said, enjoy TY while we can. Who knows, maybe he will use Blake as his inspiration and give us two years instead of one? Not likely if he’s a lottery pick. But I like to dream higher than most, because I know I can handle the disappointment if things don’t turn out the way I hope it will.

Besides, I’m not convinced our hometown boy will be one and done. He surprised a lot of people when he passed on the blue bloods and decided to play for OU. Maybe he’ll do it again when the NBA draft rolls around next spring. Like I said, I’m a dreamer.
 
I hope Lon is recruiting a PG just in case. Harmon is still a year away and Shep can't handle it by himself next season. Maybe a juco as a stop-gap? Don't want to chase Harmon away.

I definitely agree about having a Plan B point guard to play with Shep next season in case my dream of two years is nothing more than that. Another option might be a grad transfer who wouldn’t be around when it’s time to hand the keys to Harmon. OU fans who haven’t seen him play are going to like what they see! As you already know, DaVion is a baller who also happens to be a terrific on the ball defender. So glad he picked OU!
 
Grad transfer would be ideal. Juco is nothing like it used to be, although Baylor pulled that good little PG from juco not too long ago.. i hope Trae gives us 2 years, no 4! :D
