Rumor has it that both Murphy and Lanier were coming to S U but couldn’t get in academically and ended up at Niagara and Bonnie. Oh well.

Not going to say it's not true, but 50 years ago the Athletic Dept. took a far more casual approach to "academic qualifications." If an athlete was special, then the Admissions Dept was told to take a hike.

I guess the point I am making is that I personally would think that a Murphy or Lanier could have entered SU had we wanted them and they wanted to enroll. Besides, in those days Niagara and the Bonnies were not much of a step down from our program so we just as easily could have swung and missed on their recruitment.
 
As usual, I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm really excited that Peter chose SU. He's perfect for our system, as athletic mobile hard nosed big who won't ask for plays to be run for him. He's capable of covering the corner 3, and will likely be around for a few years. Perfect big for the system we run. People complain a lot about us not getting the 5 star centers, but in reality they usually don't plan to stay in college, and want to display their offensive game. Our zone doesn't need a ton of offense from the 5, but it does require mobility, a high motor, smarts, and length. Peter checks all those boxes. Kudos to the staff for pouncing on him, and reeling him. Nicely done!

The reason given as I recall, for Murphy’s choice of Niagara was a commitment from the Buffalo Bills related to Niagara U to allow him to lead the Bills Band and show his Twirling skills that won him a national championship in high school.

247 gave him an 85 and his composite is now .8602. 251st in the country.

That’s criminal.

thats 247 composite so it could be from any number of sites. 247 themselves has not evaluated him yet.

247 gave him an 85 - their first swing (and miss) on Carey.

I would file this under too many recruits to reasonably evaluate, especially when they haven't played much the last 18 months and were otherwise under the radar before.

He'll get a chance to bump that up significantly as the season starts. Doesn't hurt to have him playing against a couple of other 6'9/10" bigs in practice either.
 
When I read his name I rotate between hearing it like how Uncle Ben says Peter when Toby Maguire finds him on the ground in the first Spiderman movie, and how Patrick Warburton's character in Family Guy addresses Peter Griffin.

Since he has already committed why do we care about his rankings? As long as he is a great system fit for our offense and defense, is athletic, and has potential, then the rankings are irrelevant. Especially in the age of the transfer portal.

I kinda think 3-stars for this kid will only serve to motivate him and put a chip on his shoulder that will benefit him and the team. He certainly looked better than "3 stars" to me when i quickly looked at some highlights, but i'd like to find some full game footage to get a real sense.

We have him and i'm looking forward to him killing it and all the forum sassafrass about how "ratings don't matter."

Now with JJ out, Carey is my favorite recruit from this class. I think we might be shocked at how skilled and athletic he is from day one.

I agree. He's going to be our best big man recruit probably since Lydon. He's like a taller version of Jimmy B., but only an incoming frosh, not a guy who has been working on his game for 4 years already.

I don't get the JBIII comparison. Carey seems to be a much better athlete, but has no 3-point chops like young JB.
