I tweeted on Thursday that B.J. Young was 'wow' and he proved it again on Friday, leading St. Louis Gameface into the quarterfinals of the 17s Nationals event. He had 47 points in the night game against the Long Island Lightning, scoring from a variety of different ways. He's so freaky athletic that he makes even the tough shots look good. I like Indiana's chances but still some whispers from college coaches that he'll need some work to make the grades. No matter what, Young (photo) is a player!

B.J. Young (St. Louis, Mo./Hazelwood) 2011 SG 6-3, 170 | AAU team: St. Louis Game Face
Young dropped 47 points against the Long Island Lightning-Dingle in about every way possible -- in transition, he got to the rim or pulled up for the mid-range jumpers or wing 3s. In the halfcourt he used his quick first step to get to the rim and finish with great touch and body control. He beat defenders one-on-one repeatedly and when the defense recovered, he kicked out or dropped off to open teammates. Young does a great job of changing speeds and directions with the ball and he also has a great burst when being pressured. Young has really had a breakout spring and summer and coaches from Arkansas, Purdue, Southern Illinois, Baylor, Indiana, Missouri, Marquette, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State and Illinois State have all taken notice.

Still no interest from MN due to academic/character concerns? This guy sounds and looks amazing in the vids I've seen of him...

Clipped from Hoopmasters article:

"It just felt like my home away from home," Young said. " I loved the coaches, the team, and the fans. It just felt right to me."

It doesn't hurt that his mom is from Arkansas, as he has plenty of friends and family who will be in Fayetteville to see him play in the future.

No s#$%, Sherlock. But some of our "guesses" are more educated than others (yours). And many of us go about it with more class.

Since I'm not one of those, allow me to call you a freaking knob for the tenth time.

Sorry, but I'm correct - 2 or 3 of the IL preps WILL make McDonalds A-A team in 2011.
