Canadian star R.J. Barrett of Montverde (FL) Academy was named MVP of the 2017 Basketball Without Borders Global Camp this weekend in New Orleans.
The 6-foot-6 Barrett, a Class of 2019 wing and the son of former St. John’s standout Rowan Barrett, was one of seven Canadians invited to the event.
Rowan recently broke down his recruitment on The 4 Quarters Podcast.
“It’s clear that there are a few schools in Kansas, Kentucky, Arizona, Texas, Michigan, USC, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Villanova, there have been a number of schools,” Rowan Barrett said of his son. “They key for us right now is letting him continue to focus on getting better as a player and that’s been a real focus for us. Every three months we want to be seeing marked improvement with him, as well as in the classroom, really getting ahead of his coursework. He’s hit the honor roll now and really getting ahead of that and giving himself all the options for what he wants to be able to do academically.
“We believe after this spring and summer we’ll open it up and start to look seriously at some of these schools and start to make some determinations about shortening the list and starting to make visits and doing that.”
