Carey's Teammate Also Garnering Interest

Tariq Carey is not the only 2012 prospect from Newark Eastside (N.J.) getting college interest.

Aaron Bodie, a 6-foot-6 rising sophomore forward, is on the radar of several schools, and his list is undoubtedly going to grow as he matures.

“I know St. John’s asked me to bring him up this Tuesday with Tariq,” said Troy Long, Bodie’s coach at Eastside. “St. Joseph’s and George Mason have been inquiring.

“I think his recruitment will be a wait and see. It would be a big story for a public [school] to have so many D-1 kids in one class.”

Keep an eye on this young, athletic forward, who can be one of the best players in the state if he grows a couple of inches and develops his current skill set.
