Florida State assistant coach Charlton Young won't have to worry about facing Georgia Tech on the court until next season. However, he does have to concern himself with squaring off against Tech in the recruiting arena.

Young, who has effectively recruited metro Atlanta and the state of Georgia for FSU, said that “there is no question” that the Yellow Jackets have raised the level of competition for in-state recruits with the team of coach Josh Pastner and assistant coach Darrl LaBarrie.

“Darryl LaBarrie is one of the finest young assistants in the country,” Young said. “Very well-rounded, very knowledgeable, works really hard. The state of Georgia and Atlanta, they love him. Josh Pastner is a recruiting machine. He has been a recruiting machine since birth. Georgia Tech is going to be a factor from a recruiting standpoint.”
