UConn Recruiting

Thaddeus is a 6'8" 205 pound small forward from Memphis,
Tennessee. He attends Mitchell High School.

Young is the #2 ranked small forward and the #7 ranked
prospect overall by Rivals Hoops.

Young, a lanky left hander, is very good driving to the basket
and plays very strong in the post. He is a terrific athlete who is
becoming a consistent perimeter shooter. He has range out to
the three point line.

Young is an outstanding student who holds a 4.3 GPA (out of
4.0) by taking honors classes. He is also a member of the math
honors society. He would like to attend a college with a good
business school and would like to play for an up tempo team.

Young was named the Memphis player of the year as a
sophomore as well as first team all state. He is averaging 22
points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks per game
this season.

Young has nearly every high major powerhouse recruiting him,
including UConn. He likely will not narrow down his list until
after the season. He is also a candidate to enter the NBA draft
out of high school in 2006.
