Miami basketball target Vernon Carey Jr wins Gold with USA Basketball

Carey averaged 11 points and 6.9 rebounds in the tournament that was played in Santa Fe, Argentina. He could become the kind of program-changing player for Miami Basketball that many thought Lonnie Walker would become last season.

Hurricanes Head Coach Jim Larranaga said earlier this year that Carey can create a legacy for Miami Basketball. Carey is considering Miami, North Carolina, Kentucky, Duke and Michigan State. Duke is considered to be the leader.

Carey was one of two Americans named All-Tournament team. The FIBA Under 17 Tournament is played Bi-Annually.
