NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — Jalen Carey has been one of the most sought after guards here at this year’s Peach Jam.
Syracuse, UConn, Kansas, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Miami, Oregon and South Carolina are some of the schools that have been tracking him with the NJ Playaz, but he says two of them are working the hardest.
“I’d say the hardest right now is Syracuse,” the 6-foot-3, 170-pound point guard from the Playaz and Montclair (N.J.) Immaculate Conception said Friday. “That’s a school hitting me up every day. I have a good relationship with Adrian [Autry], coach Red. They’re coming to all my games, stuff like that.
“And UConn, too. Kevin Ollie, Dwayne Killings come to all my games. [Kansas coach] Bill Self came to my game, he said he loved the way I play. So those two schools [Syracuse and UConn] mainly.”

Even as the Knicks are reportedly back
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Luther Muhammad had hoped to be competing in the Peach Jam this week, but because his NY Rens team failed to qualify they ended up in the Peach Invitational Tournament instead.
Located a few miles from the Peach Jam, the Peach Invitational is a much less prestigious event yet it drew a slew of coaches on Thursday to see Muhammad and his Hudson (N.J.) Catholic teammate Louis King of Team Final, which lost a play-in game at the Peach Jam on Wednesday.
“No, it’s not tough [to be motivated],” the 6-foot-4 Muhammad told me Thursday after a tough loss to Jalen Lecque and Southern Stampede. “Mostly, I’m self-motivated so it don’t matter if I’m playing outside. It don’t matter. I come to play every time. I play every game like my last.”
Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim and two assistants along with assistants from Seton Hall, St. John’s and Ohio State are among those to watch Muhammad this week. West Virginia also jumped into the fray with an offer on Friday after head coach Bob Huggins saw him play.
