Michigan State Basketball: 5-star Vernon Carey Jr. close to decision

Vernon Carey Jr. is one of those once-in-a-decade type of recruits for Tom Izzo. Not often is he considered a favorite for the No. 1 recruit in the country (outside of Jabari Parker and Josh Jackson), but this recruitment just feels different.

The five-star center from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., just finished up his second official visit to Michigan State and there were rumors swirling that the Spartans were up there with Duke as the favorites to land the blue-chipper.

On Monday, Adam Zagoria reported that Carey Jr. is planning to commit soon and sign later.
