Rated as a "quality hire" on par with hiring Eric Mussleman at Arkansas and Mick Cronin at UCLA.
"Evaluation: What a good hire this is. Can't say for certain it's going to work out, but Young's deserving of a chance after sticking at Wofford for more than half his life. Virginia Tech brought in a 55-year-old coach who's innovative and should have the Hokies continuing their shooting ways they developed under Buzz Williams. Whit Babcock looked at a number of qualified candidates, but Young won out because of his acumen, personality and proven track record at Wofford. "
