Vernon Carey Jr. enjoying status as a No. 1 basketball recruit

Posted Jan 4, 2018
When Duke basketball commit R.J. Barrett decided to reclassify from the class of 2019 to the class of 2018, that left a void at the No. 1 recruiting spot. His move meant the top spot was there for the taking. After a successful summer circuit with USA basketball, University School forward Vernon Carey Jr. made the leap. Carey has been locked in at the top spot since September. (Charlotte Observer)
