Griz announce the signing of Raason Young

The Griz have announced what we have suspected for a few months now, that Raason Young, a 6-6 wing player from Hagerston Community College in Maryland will be wearing a Grizzly uniform next season. I think this is a great pick up for the Griz for next year. Young will bring a lot of speed and athleticism to both the shooting guard and small forward position and a very potent offensive arsenal. He is also going to push both McGillis and Staudacher for their starting positions the minute he steps on the court. Competition is always good. This one addition is going to pay big time dividends for the Griz next year.

Griz Camp: Player Attendance

Typically, at college basketball camps every year, coaches will hire current and incoming players to help coach at the camps. Coaches love to do this, because they have a decent built in employee pool to hire camp coaches from, and it allows the players a chance to get together in one place, at one time, before the start of the season and get to know one another and play some ball. And if those same said player happen to play some pick up ball in the evening and some of the top recruits/campers just happen to come by and want to play , so more the better.

I am just going to say this more than one college athlete has earned a scholarship offer, after playing in one or two of these pick up games.

 

Recruiting tid bits

Miscellaneous pieces of recruiting info

• I have been talking with a few people about Raason Young and his recruiting status with the Griz. From who I have talked to everyone seems to be under the impression that a commit or letter of intent has been tendered. I even have a comment on my blog from someone claiming to be Young’s brother and that he signed with the Griz on the 20th of May. For some reason, though, the coaches at Montana and Hagerstown JC are not commenting either way whether Young has committed to the Griz or even any other school. The feeling is that Young did sign with Montana but it was a conditional agreement (coming after the signing date) but conditional that Young will meet certain conditions. Typical conditional conditions could be approval of the NCAA clearing house, completion of an associate degree, acceptance of transcripts to UM.

*** Breaking Rumor: Raason Young ***

Not to be confused with Breaking News.

 

I am told, by someone close to the Raason Young recruiting that barring a absolutely  disastrous visit this Friday and Saturday (May 22 & 23) Rasson will be committing/signing with the Griz.  Young is sold on the Griz program, and like the direction they are going.

 

Raason Young is a very athletic 6-5 guard forward from Hagerstown JC in Maryland.  You can find more information about him by clicking on his name.

Griz Recruiting: Raason Young

I have heard from multiple sources that Wayne Tinkle and his staff are recruiting Hagerstown Community College sophomore Raason Young. Young is a very athletic 6-5 guard / forward who played his high school ball at J F Kennedy high school in Maryland.

He played his first year of college ball for the Missouri State at West Plains JC Grizzlies so maybe that may help him feel more comfortable in Missoula.

Young is being recruited for the 2009-10 team.
