“The official visit for me was reassurance,” Carey said. “I knew Syracuse was the spot for me and I was able to interact with the players. It’s so much of a brotherhood there and they showed me so much love.

One down, two to go

 

[skeeter223]

He's gonna be a good one.

 

[NC_Orange]

If he's praising the way we used the big men then you gotta think they showed him a whole bunch of Marek’s film. Outside of that, he does not remind me of any of our other recent big men. I’m very excited for his potential

 

[CuseMan4]

He’s an interesting case where he is very raw right now so he’s all potential but you know he has all the tools to most likely pan out.

1) Not many kids his age have athleticism like that at his size
2) his coordination for his size at that age is very good
3) he’ll be good on defense, I’m not worried about that
4) at the bare minimum think of Deandre Jordan or McGee in the NBA. Dudes are very limited offensively put are great at catching the lob and finishing based on their athleticism. I think that’s what Carey will be and he’ll make his money on the defensive side

We are Syracuse basketball so normally when we land these lower recruited kids, I’m so-so on it. But I actually really like this pickup and think this kid will do some things here

 

[Conrad13]

This is perfect. I love the idea of him developing for a year or two behind Jessie and Anselem and turning into a quality center over the course of his career. Even if a few don't pan out (and I think that Carey will be good) stockpiling athletic big men is a smart strategy.

Yeah love the athleticism but it’s the coordination for me. He’s not some gangly dude that’s all over the place. One down

Seems like he can use either the right or left hand... I like it... I even saw him block out once on a clip... He will have to unlearn that

 

[UGHV]

Love the effort and energy. Can see him flying all over the place, diving for loose balls etc. Great pickup.

He’s bouncy which translates to “raw”. But watch the stuff other than dunks and you can see his skillset. Tell me you ever saw Boo or Baye dribble open court and pass to a teammate downcourt? Or grab the ball off the rim and push? Or dunk the bank going through their legs? Come on.
This is a really good player

 

[orangefog]

He strikes me as the kind of raw talent that great programs develop into huge contributors. Clearly he needs to add some weight, but what tools to work with: 7 footer with athleticism. Great addition.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

He’s bouncy which translates to “raw”.

Gimme a "C". A bouncy "C"

 

[Cusesky8214]

This is a fantastic pick up! Time to go all in on JJ now!

 

[syrBossHogg]

Nice pickup! Should have plenty of time to develop with Jesse/Anselem at the 5.

[RF2044]

He's gonna be a good one.

Agreed. He's got great tools for a big man, he's very athletic, and he isn't quite as skinny as some bigs we target. He'll be a good one down the road.
