5-star Norman PG Trae Young announces date for KU visit

Kansas University basketball recruiting

Trae Young, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound point guard ranked 14th in the 2017 recruiting class announced the dates of four of his official visits on Twitter on Wednesday.

Young will visit Kansas the weekend of Oct. 21-23 and his trip to Lawrence will follow visits to Oklahoma (Sept. 16-18), Texas Tech (Sept. 29-Oct. 1) and Kentucky (Oct. 14-16).

Young, who lists KU among his six finalists, did not include visit dates for Washington and Oklahoma State. Provided he fulfills the four other dates, NCAA rules dictate that Young only will be able to make an official visit to either Washington or Oklahoma State but not both.

The five-star point guard from Norman, Okla., has long been a target of the Jayhawks and has kept Kansas in the mix because of KU’s tradition and reputation.

“To have the chance to play somewhere like Allen Fieldhouse is a great opportunity,” Young told Rivals.com in late July. “Coach Self uses and develops guards really well and gets them ready for the league.”
