Maybe hyperbole, but Carey redshirted as frosh for ann injury but was by all accounts completely raw. Jesse played 150 minutes and scored 50 points with 10 blocks his frosh season behind Sidibe and Marek as the 9th guy on a JAB roster. Jesse’s sophomore season was more of the same in an COVID shortened year with lots of being downplayed as not ready by JAB while he played Marek at C and lots of fans asking why Jesse wasn’t getting more minutes.
Carey has ~50 minutes over two seasons and has almost as many personal fouls (15) as he has points, blocks and rebounds combined (16). He’s barely been more than a walk-on.
