From the Philly Inquirer:
Cherry Hill East senior Brian Young, one of the best pure shooters in South Jersey, has made an oral commitment to play basketball at Lafayette University. The 6-foot-6 Young averaged 15.2 points per game for the 18-9 Cougars, who advanced to the South Jersey Group 4 semifinal. Young shot 79 for 204 (38.7 percent) from three-point range.
Lafayette, a member of the Patriot League, doesn't give athletic basketball scholarships, but East coach John Valore said that Young received a 'very good financial package.'
Valore feels that Young will be a good fit for coach Fran O'Hanlon, whose team frequently employs the three-point shot in its offense.
Young was recruited as a small forward, but he could also play the shooting guard position.
Valore said Penn, Columbia and St. Anselm College, a Division II school in New Hampshire, were among the schools showing interest in Young." @ 11:17 AM
