The most talented of them all was juemichael young from Hammond supposedly. I heard stories that he was absolutely unguardable in practice, just couldn't stay out of trouble. I saw him play in high school and he was definitely NBA material. Don't forget Chris Duhon from salmen that played at Duke

I remember Young, he was briefly on LSU's squad. Reminded me alot of Lamont Roland. Can't forget Chris Duhon, another good one that got away from LSU. Can't fault him for going to Duke back then. Won a championship his freshman year at duke.

Juemichael Young was never close to NBA material. Torris Bright and Chris Duhon were levels above him. I went to school in the same district as all three players. Juemichael could jump out of the gym though.

Jeumichael young was not anything special in high school. I still have no idea why brady wasted his only scholarship that year on him.

Late 90s parkview basketball was as blatant as it gets when it comes to schools bringing in guys just to play sports. That school had probably only gone to the playoffs a couple times in its history and had maybe a handful of black people ever go there. Then in one year they have an entire team of star basketball players and are traveling around the country winning tournaments. Dirty.

I heard some stories about how great Jemichael Young was. FYI he has a daughter who is AMAZING. She's been playing HS ball since her 7th grade year,was all district 7th and 8th grade year. She's now in the 9th grade at Loranger teams leading scorer. She's 5'9 and slapping the backboard after layups.
