This was sent to me. It's from the Texas Rivals site...............
Living in Norman, Oklahoma means he hears from the hometown fans often, especially after Buddy Hield turned into the superstar that he did.
“It’s crazy because some fans they’re like that sometimes because they’re so in love with their school and want me to stay home. I definitely get that sometimes growing up in Norman, especially with Buddy Hield blowing up. That comes around sometimes,” he said, and added that it’s never over-the-top or bad.
Oklahoma has made Young a priority, and Krueger has been watching him often.
Another school that has watched him a ton is Texas. Young recently visited Austin in early June.
“It was great. Had a great time. Got to tour the whole campus. Got to see it all and spent a lot of time with coach Smart and the staff and with Jarrett Allen and Andrew Jones,” he said. “It was nice. Loved the campus. I grew up a UT fan.”
Yes, that last sentence isn’t just a line to make some fans happy. Young brought up his Texas fandom over a year ago when I first talked to him, and he isn’t afraid to say that growing up in Texas – he was born in Lubbock – made him a fan of the Longhorns.
“I grew up the biggest Texas fan in the world. I was born Texas so whenever you’re born in Texas, the only thing you want to do is go to the biggest school in Texas,” he said.
