Reebok Headliner Tryout Recap

Tariq Carey SG ’12 Newark Eastside (NJ): Arguably the top performer of the day, Carey arrived late from taking the SAT and continued to school his competition upon stepping on the floor. The 6’2 guard scored in various fashions on Saturday. From knocking down long-range three’s to finishing at the rim, Carey caused havoc for opposing defenders. Aside from scoring in bunches, Carey dished out an array of assists as well, proving he has the ability to play both guard positions.
