Jalen Carey, the 6-foot-3, 170-pound point guard from the Playaz and Montclair (N.J.) Immaculate Conception, enjoyed his official visit to Syracuse this past weekend and is now primarily focusing on three schools — Syracuse, UConn and Miami — his father told ZAGSBLOG on Monday.
Syracuse is recruiting Carey to play the point, while the other two see him as a combo guard, John Carey said.
“They’re recruiting him as a point guard,” he said of Syracuse. “He’s the only point guard they’re recruiting in this class right now. Basically he would come in, he could play right away, they want him to lead the team and they want him to play with [Darius] Bazley. With him, Oshae Brissett and Buddy Boeheim, it’s looking really, really scary over there.
“They love him. [Syracuse coach Jim] Boeheim said he’s definitely a big time player. He could play right away. He could see him getting drafted maybe one, two years.”
