Not listed officially as being interested in OSU, however Matta has reportedly been working on him and Conley was recruiting him hard as an opponent in the AAU tourney. Conley is largely thought to be headed to OSU and Oden calling them his #1 only boosts the interest for Young to hop on board.

This information was provided from a reliable poster on the wake board, who thinks that Young could be legitimately interested with the momentum OSU has built up.

A football school that has decided to kick some ass in Basketball!!!

Cook and Lighty are from Ohio. Oden and Conley are nearby and play with Cook. Them I understand. If Thaddeus really gets interested and comes our way, that is just insane stuff.

Kyle Lamb has said that Young is a legitimate possibility for OSU (tho NC leads). He is an agile, strong, big man that can really stroke it from outside but also bang with the big boys inside. Young was doing a lot of talking with Cook and Conley this weekend apparently (which confirms the wake forest insider information).

Hopefully he is nothing like Larry Harrison.
