This afternoon, Vernon Carey Jr. announced that he will be taking his talents to Duke for his college career. He made the announcement this afternoon at NSU University School in Florida, and brought an end to a recruitment race that UNC managed to stay in the entire way through.
Throughout just about his entire recruitment, the Duke Blue Devils were the favorites to land Carey. It was pretty easy to to see at least part of the reason why — to this point, Coach K only managed to receive commitments from five-star small forward Wendell Moore, and four-star combo guard Boogie Ellis.
