I've seldom seen OU's fan base have as complicated a relationship with a star player as we collectively seem to have with Trae Young. Trae's been selected first-team All American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the Basketball Writers Association, Sporting News, NBC Sports, Bleacher Report and USA Today, and I've not seen mention of any of those honors here (perhaps I missed them, but I generally read this site on at least a daily basis).
It's odd/interesting that our departing freshman star being named to the first-team All-American by so many organizations (with more surely to come) hasn't been seen as worthy of note. I guess it could be because these aren't the big dogs among those organizations that name All-American teams, but it strikes me as puzzling.
