A Solomon Young update

Did an article on Nor Cal Wildcats and Sacramento High's Solomon Young for Nor Cal Preps (a sub is required) the other day and here's a few more quotes garnered on the 2016 talent that were too late to include:

Philippe Doherty

"Solomon is one of the most unselfish and low maintenance high major players in the country. His quiet demeanor should not be confused for he has a fierceness that fuels him every day to get better."

"He is a high character kid who works relentlessly on his craft. He is always wanting to get better. He is one of the more skilled kids his size because he has put in the work."

"We would be doing a dis-service to him if we did not train to be an inside out threat, and as evidenced this summer he was hitting 3's in our attacking pro style offense. Jeremy Russotti and our group want our players to be as skilled as they possibly can so they don't get stuck in college at one position."

"Solomon will end his career as one of the best players to come out of Sacramento and one of the better players in the country in his class because of his humility, focused hard work, high character, low maintenance, and unselfishness. A truly great kid who any program in the country would welcome with open arms."

Jeremy Russotti

"Solomon's ceiling is as high as he wants to take it. I had him in our Green Room Training Program working with Josh Akognon (Memphis Grizzlies) and other pro and college players. Josh was very adamant how much he enjoyed working alongside Solo as a player and how he was 'one of us.'"

"Solomon started in the spring and was just a big kid that had a low basketball IQ and didn't know how to use his body and strength. I firmly believe he is the most improved player in California and maybe the nation. He is extremely intelligent, and his game is expanding every week. It is going to be scary what his development will be like over the next 3 years. He has a shot to be one of the great ones."
