doesn't smell like young will be returning for illinois or msu. not too surprising. rehab depending, guess the plan is to be as close to 100% for the ncaa tournament.

SKULL SESSION: CHRIS HOLTMANN IS “HOPEFUL” FOR QUICK KYLE YOUNG RETURN, MICHIGAN'S JOHN RUNYAN TALKS CHASE YOUNG, AND JEFF OKUDAH GIVES HIS BUCKEYE DB MT. RUSHMORE
“HOPEFUL.” Ohio State opens Big Ten play on Thursday, and from how Chris Holtmann talked after the game, it sounds like Kyle Young's status might be a little more up-in-the-air than you'd like to hear.
You know what? Just make sure he's back for The Big Dance. If we need to sacrifice a Big Ten Title for a national title, that's fine with me.

coach obviously has a much better handle on the situation than we do, but i'm hoping this is just coachspeak. rather odd to go from saying that kyle "100% would not have been able to play (yesterday)" to being ready to go on thursday. unless young is 100% for purdue or as close to 100% as we're going to see him this season, i hope he is held out. heck, i hope he is held out regardless. save him for what actually matters.

SKULL SESSION: JAMESON WILLIAMS TALKS IMPROVEMENT, C.J. STROUD SHOWS OFF HIS LEADERSHIP AT ELITE 11, AND KYLE YOUNG FINDS A PURPOSE AT OHIO STATE
FINDING CLOSURE. Kyle Young had a hell of a time adjusting to college life his freshman year, but naturally, it was a hell of a lot more noble and selfless than just simple homesickness. Kyle just couldn't stand being away from his family and felt a duty to take care of them after the death of his father.
... Ohio State scheduled summer workouts early on Friday mornings, allowing players without classes to escape for long weekends. “We would joke that Kyle’s bags were packed and the engine running,’’ Pedon says. “As soon as the workout was done, he was on the first thing smoking back home.’’ The problem was, Kyle didn’t just want to go home; he didn’t necessarily want to come back to campus. “I just felt like I’d be better off at home,’’ he says, thinking he could get a job and figure things out there.
...
Still as comfortable as he was with the staff, Kyle just wasn’t sure college — any college — was for him. One afternoon over lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings, Holtmann and Kyle talked through his homesickness, and Holtmann finally grasped what was going on. Staying at Ohio State meant not caring for his mom. Staying at Ohio State felt selfish. “I don’t know. It was bad,’’ Kyle says. “I knew I loved basketball. My mom kept telling me, ‘This is what you want to do. This is what you’ve worked for your whole life.’ It just, I don’t know. It didn’t feel right. But my mom, my brother and sister, they wouldn’t let me go. They made me stick it out and promised me I would regret it if I didn’t. They were right.’"
It took a minute, but now he's the stickiest of glue guys for his team, even when he's not on the court, and he's found a purpose being what Chris Holtmann describes as a “junkyard dog.”
