Patric Young was a McDonald’s All-American who entered college as the 15th-ranked player in the Class of 2010...Being out of place on offense … not calling out a screen on the opposite end of the floor … bouncing the ball to a teammate on a play that called for a forceful pass to the chest.Athletic and intimidating as he may have been, Young discovered quickly that basketball isn’t all about throwing down dunks and blocking shots.
he day he was tabbed as Jud Heathcote’s successor at Michigan State, Tom Izzo received a tip from the Spartans’ legendary coach.“Find as many coaches’ sons as you can,” Heathcote told Izzo, “and recruit all of them.”As much as they like five-star prospects and future NBA lottery picks, college coaches love to sign players whose fathers worked the sidelines, as well. They’re usually more attentive and respectful, they don’t groan as much when workouts extend beyond schedule and, when it comes to implementing new plays and schemes, they rarely have to be told something twice.
