This is an interesting article that about post Trae Young life for Norman North.
Despite Trae's obvious talent, he is truly one of OU's all time greats, I wonder how much the media circus that seemed to cause Norman Norths failures drove our demise.
Last night the commentators quoted Young along the lines of him saying he felt like the world was on his shoulders and it effected his play. When nobody knew who Trae Young was the entire team was playing care free and we were winning. As soon as the hype started we fell apart.
I really don't want this to come across as knocking Trae, but I think the pressure he felt & brought to the team really hurt us. That comes with the territory of being a contender though. The rest of the team, coming off an 11 win season, surely wasn't prepared for the spotlight. Neither was Trae.
