Trae Young of
Norman North (Okla.) will be staying home next year.
Young committed to Oklahoma on Thursday, picking the Sooners over Kansas and Oklahoma State.
247Sports has the dynamic guard pegged as the No. 18 overall prospect in the Class of 2017. He joins a recruiting class that includes 6-foot-7 forward
Brady Manek of
Harrah (Okla.) and 6-11 center Hannes Polla of Finland.
Young set an Oklahoma Class 6A state record with 62 points last Friday and unofficially leads the country in scoring at over 43 points per game.
The 6-1 floor general guided MoKan Elite to a Peach Jam championship last summer, putting up 21.3 points and 7.1 assists per game in the highly-competitive event.

Trae Young will stay in-state to play for the Oklahoma Sooners.
