OKLAHOMA SOONERS

The media is in love with him, the country is in love with him, because well, he is a loveable guy. Trae Young, the young point guard for the Oklahoma Sooners practically changed the destiny for the Sooners looking to rebuild.

The most exciting player for the Sooners since Buddy Hield, Young stands above all other guards in America with his basketball skillset. If the Sooners did not have Young on their roster, the team would be completely different. Young just makes things happen.

Not only does Young make the Sooners exciting to watch, so does their seasoned head coach in Lon Kruger. Kruger owns plenty of respect throughout the game of basketball. With his game plans, and smarts for the game, the Sooners went from a unraked team, to an NCAA contender.

The Sooners look to challenge the Jayhawks, and end their run for Big 12 Titles. Young, and the Oklahoma Sooners are ready to roll in the Big 12, making the season that much more exciting.
