Kansas recruit Trae Young (11) pushes the ball up the court during the KC Hardwood Classic Friday at Shawnee Mission South High School in Overland Park.

A five-star point guard from the heart of Big 12 country, Norman North High (Okla.) senior Trae Young made his college basketball destination official Thursday just after noon.

A dynamic 6-foot-2, 170-pound play-maker who is ranked the 14th-best prospect nationally in the Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, Young’s options came down to choosing between the University of Kansas and Oklahoma.

Play for Bill Self at Allen Fieldhouse? Or stay at home and star in your own backyard for Lon Kruger at OU?

Ultimately, Young went with the Sooners.

It had to be a difficult, yet exciting, decision for Young, [as he weighed the pros and cons][1] of his options.

Young’s choice was big news not just in Lawrence, but also in his home state, where [The Oklahoman][2] covered his announcement live.
