2019 five-star center Vernon Carey has trimmed his list to five, and the Kentucky Wildcats made the final cut.
He released his final five, featuring Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Miami (FL), and Michigan State, on Twitter:
The 6-foot-10, 260-pound center is considered Rivals.com’s No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2019, and the No. 2 prospect according to ESPN and 247 Sports.
In an interview with the Courier-Journal, Carey Jr. said he talks with Kentucky recruit and top-two big man James Wiseman on a regular basis and that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if they ended up at the same college.
