Cantù, Italy – Former Quinnipiac men's basketball standout Cameron Young '19 has signed a professional contract with Pallacanestro Cantù – an Italian professional basketball club based in Cantù, Italy.
 
Young – Quinnipiac's first AP All-American and the 2018-2019 MAAC Player of the Year – will join Pallacanestro Cantù for the 2019-20 season. He becomes the second player in program history to play for the team, as James Feldeine '10 played with Pallacanestro Cantù in 2014-15. 
 
Young scored 1,350 total points in 70 career games for the Bobcats – setting a new career program record by averaging 19.3 points per game. He posted a Quinnipiac Division I single-season program record 728 points in 2018-19, also good for the third-most points in a season across all levels. He recorded 23.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per contest in 2018-19.
 
The 6-foot-6 wing scored the highest single-game point total in Division I basketball this past season, recording an impressive 55 points on Sunday, Feb. 17 at the Times Union Center vs. Siena. Young's 55 points also set a Quinnipiac Division I program record, as the graduate guard shot 15-for-24 from the floor, grabbing 10 rebounds in 53+ minutes played.

Young scored 25 points a week later in Quinnipiac's road win over Monmouth on Feb. 24, breaking his own Division I single-season scoring record (622) – which was set in 2017-18. He ended his final collegiate campaign with 728 points, scoring 23.5 points per contest. He also broke the program's Division I single-season record for 3-pointers, surpassing James Johnson's total of 84 shots from distance in 2010-11. Young made 104 3-point field goals in 2018-19.
