Carey's EGC Recap

Tariq Carey The Newark (NJ) Eastside guard finished with 8 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals for the NJ squad on Sunday. Carey has bounced around the AAU scene, playing some with the NJ Playaz last summer and indicated he is now playing with the NY Panthers. Carey is looking forward to the upcoming high school season and is putting the recruiting process aside for now as the number of schools showing interest in him continues to grow.

“It’s going good,” Carey told Jeff Borzello Sunday night, “but I just took a step back to just focus on my game because I really don’t want to worry myself about that right now. I’m not making the decision right now, so until then, that’s when I’ll worry about it. But it’s going good overall.”

As for the schools, Carey updated NBE off the top of his head, but there are more and more schools showing interest that he is having trouble remembering them all.

“Clemson, Virginia Tech, Creighton, Wake Forest, Villanova, Providence, Seton Hall, Notre Dame and Duquesne, and a lot of others,” Carey said. “I can’t remember all of them right now.”

Tariq Carey, 6'2", Newark East Side, NJ: Skilled at getting to the basket off the bounce. Inconsistent finisher when he gets there. Didn't shoot the ball particularly well in this contest.

Top 3 prospects in the game from a VU perspective: 1. Anderson, 2. Jefferson, 3. Arcidiancono - with Arcidiancono making the list more based on past performance than this game. Fincher, Anglin, Carey and Walker are worth keeping an eye on as well.
