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
 
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 ;)

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
 
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.

He's maybe 17. 200 lbs and still growing. Still developing.
And his description of his visit was very mature and enthusiastic: Peter Carey Commits to Syracuse Basketball, Discusses Decision
He sat next to Bunch at the Liberty game. What's not to like?
Sounds like a dedicated program player who'll really develop.
Yeah I'm a little goo-goo, ga-ga. So what.
