As we know it, Jalen Carey — a top 40 recruit in the 2018 class — will head up to Syracuse this summer where he’ll eventually throw on a Syracuse jersey and play an important role for Jim Boeheim this fall. Needless to say, Syracuse fans are excited about him and he’s equally as excited to get to Syracuse.
When speaking to him last week at the Jordan Brand Classic it become apparent that Jalen identifies himself as a native of New York despite playing high school ball at Immaculate Conception in New Jersey. After all, he’s from Harlem and only crosses the river to compete.
