Posted Oct 6, 2018
To say that University School (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) forward Vernon Carey Jr. has no qualms about potentially teaming up with another elite big man in college would be an understatement. Carey welcomes it. “It would be great,” said Carey, who is ranked No. 2 in USA Today Sports’ Chosen 25 for 2019. “I feel like I have the type of game that can play with anyone. So I’d love it.” (USA Today)
