Not sure if we are still in on AJ Youngman but there's apparently a little turmoil on his high school team..
One of the players who reportedly "turned in his jersey" is a kid who is getting major national attention...

Youngman was at the UTA/Bradley game and mentioned that he is being actively recruited by Wichita as well.

[Da Coach]

I think Bradley could have a real good chance at him. A lot of bigger schools are recruiting him, and he is a great shooter, but he is not the most athletic kid, and that might limit the solid offers.

[Toyota12]

This kid is a sophomore in high school. He might be the best player in the area right now with the biggest upside. How can you say his athletic ability might keep some big schools away? I will tell you right now he will end up with more offers than any other kid in the area in the last 10 years. Great shooter and high Bball IQ! We could use that at BU right now and we will never get a chance at this kid..

[Da Coach]

Because FWIH, that is already what he is being told by "representatives" of some of the big boys, that he's not athletic enough for them right now. I am not sure I'd agree that he is "the best player in the area" now. He is a very good shooter, and he's big for his age. Let's see how he does against good competition. I hope he continues to develop, but he is not very athletic right now. I think he will end up at a mid-major, or if not, he'll wish that he did like Nate Taphorn.

BTW, A.J Youngman was at the Bradley game last night. Too bad he had to see the team and the crowd at its worst.

[LongTimeFan]

Maybe he will see we need some help putting the ball in the basket. Did we even hit 50% of our free throws?

Saw a game live and followed box scores closely. It seems Illinois competition is much different then Kentucky! Still very early in the season, but did not impress in game I saw.
