Scout.com reports T.J. Carey of Oyster Bay, NY, has become the second member of Harvard’s 2007 recruiting class. His St. Dominic’s team went 20-6 last season and should be one of the better high school programs in the New York City area this season. Carey boasts a nice shot, is a solid defender, and passes well enough to play the point — though he appears ideally suited for shooting guard. The 6-2 guard selected the Crimson over interest from Princeton and Yale.

Slant: Carey is coming off a disappointing summer that saw him fracture his hand on the first day of the Eastern Invitational Camp in July. That could be a big reason why his choices in the end were non-scholarship Ivy programs. Frank Sullivan is getting a player who seems to get nearly as much attention for his intelligence and leadership qualities as he does for his basketball abilities. Carey is a character kid who by all accounts also can play, as evidenced by his All-Long Island recognition and Outstanding High School Athlete of the Year award by the Nassau Sports Commission. He could end up being a steal for the Crimson.
