Fisher unhappy as recruit Kevin Young switches to Kansas
San Diego State coach Steve Fisher voiced disappointment after prized recruit Kevin Young chose Kansas over SDSU. Young, 6-foot-8, 215 pounds, had signed a financial aid agreement with SDSU in November but decommitted, enrolling at KU for his final two college seasons. KU coach Bill Self stressed he did not steal Young, noting Young told SDSU he wouldn’t attend before Self recruited him. SDSU, in rebuilding mode, has eight scholarships versus KU’s 11, with the decision costing SDSU several potential signees. Notebook on page 3B.
