He's probably 210-215 now. Where ever he goes next year, it will be with hopes of bigger offers.
JHBird said:When does Trace have to make a decision? I'm assuming he wants to play somewhere this fall, right?
Yup. Theoretically it could even be after classes officially start as most places allow kids an extra week or two to enroll in a class.PubIIDreaming said:JHBird said:When does Trace have to make a decision? I'm assuming he wants to play somewhere this fall, right?
I asked the same question on the last board shortly before it crashed. I would assume he has until classes start to enroll and sign up.
It's very likely that's the case.TreRoberson4Heisman said:What could he possibly be waiting for? Someone to mysteriously leave their (P-5) program?

It's also very likely he's getting some piss poor advise from an "expert" who has his ear. Remind you of anyone? Six years from now he'll be at college #7.

Source said:This is one of the more strange recruiting situations I have followed first hand. Young is not committed anywhere, especially not Ole Miss. Like we thought, he was holding out for a bigger offer all summer and it never came. Now, he is at a point where he has waited so long our interest cooled along with the other schools that stayed with him (INST and Troy). I have a feeling Gassman getting the scholarship indicates we have moved on from Young. I think the kid has ran out of options and will likely find a JuCo to spend a year at before transferring to a lower level D1.
Honestly, this is a Lofton-like case. He evaluated himself higher as a player than colleges were after his initial recruiting boom. Academically, he fell off after receiving the offers in 2014 (WKU, Samford, Morehead State), 2015 (USC, DePaul, USF, Murray State, and Kansas State) because he felt he had D1 basketball in the bag.. He no more offers came in until Illinois State in May 2017 followed by Troy and INST.
Here is a list of interest he had http://247sports.com/Recruitment/Trace-Young-82511/RecruitInterests. Look at the lack of offers. There is a very, very low percentage Young is playing D1 ball this year.
It's a shame. He is a talented player that let what is between the ears get in his way.
The following teams have been in contact.
Southwest Tennessee Community College.
Palm Beach State
Tallahassee CC

Something amiss as none of this makes sense and it seems nearly all universities are taking a pass.

Back before the board crashed, we had a tweet from his AAU coach--I believe--saying that Young had qualified academically. I honestly think it's a case of nobody coming in to scoop him up like he expected once his academics were cleared. That suggests a bit of an attitude issue if only that he thinks he's better than the offers he has so far.
