Khadeen Carrington - SG - Bishop Loughlin HS - Brooklyn, NY - SETON HALL

"On Friday, Carrington posted 14 points, four rebounds and four assists in a 75-73 overtime victory in a highly anticipated bout against the New Jersey Playaz and fellow Brooklynite, Isaiah Whitehead of Abraham Lincoln.

The rising senior capped off a phenomenal weekend with a 24-point, four-rebound performance in a win over the Georgia Stars on Sunday.

Carrington, who believes he simply found his “flow” in Dallas, eyes a trip to the EYBL Finals at Peach Jam.

As the EYBL circuit ends for majority of programs after Session #4 in Minneapolis, Minnesota in two weeks, Carrington expects the New York Lightning to be one of the 24 teams to qualify for Peach Jam.

With Carrington leading the way, a superb follow-up performance in Minneapolis is to be expected. As a result, high-major coaches will continue to recruit the dynamic guard.

Currently, Carrington lists offers from Southern Methodist, Connecticut, St. John’s, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Florida State and West Virginia, among others.

With a wide-spread skill-set and high-motor, Carrington envisions competing for a program who’s tempo is fast-paced and mentions UConn and Cincinnati as two programs who stand out."

Thx Fordham.

As far as the 2 guard position for 2014 I think the order of priority is:

1) Whitehead

2) Terrell

3) Carrington

4) Nickens

Don't see Nickens as a two. The other three look to be in order of talent level IMO.

Three all the way at the college level. 

Btw, Montero is a player!

"WEST HEMPSTEAD, NY - On Sunday, in a highly anticipated GameOver Classic 17U championship at the Island Garden, the New York Lightning defeated the New York Panthers in a rout 78-44.

   
M. Wingate

Luis Montero & Khadeen Carrington
After a good competitive start by both teams, the Panthers had no answer for the second half run that would strike by the Lightning.

Early on, both teams got out to a good start and opened up playing hard half court man to man sets on defense. With 10:50 remaining in the half, the score was tied at 10 apiece and for the next three minutes the game consisted of back-to-back action between the two teams scoring one right after the other.

NY Lightning players, Khadeen Carrington and 6'7" Luis Montero, (Sophomore - Manson Academy) caught fire in the paint and made a ton of free throws to help keep their team up by a narrow margin. With 3:50 remaining in the half the Lightning began to gain momentum.

After a timeout called by the Panthers, the Lightning came out in a full court press which led to a couple of steals and lay-ups by Carrington giving them their biggest lead of the half 27-21 with the half coming to a close. At this point it appeared that the Panthers were in danger of getting blown out but a trio of lay-ups, including one at the buzzer by Temple Gibbs , kept the Panthers within reasonable striking distance at half 36-27.

To open the second half, the Panthers really struggled to score the ball. Aggressive half court traps and intense ball pressure caused the Panthers to turn the ball over leading to easy transition baskets for Lightning.

The Lightning then went on an 8-0 run with 8:05 to go behind a vicious alley oop slam by Carrington followed by a jumpshot and a three ball by Montero which suddenly ballooned the Lightning's lead to 57-37. Gibbs continued to play well and converted on several lay-ups in the paint off some nice crossover moves but it would not be enough. The Lightning's team effort led to a trouncing of the Panthers for the rest of the game and the score would only get worse until its final conclusion.
 Carrington and Montero led the Lightning with 17 and 16 points each while Gibbs led the Panthers and was game's overall leading scorer with 18 points respectively."See more at: http://nychoops.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1516433#sthash.cKJ20Dhr.tNQdRK0P.dpuf

As some folks here have noted, staff seems to have backed off on him. His performances recently on AAU circuit seem to support that thinking. I hope so.

"Cincinnati, UConn, St. John’s and Hofstra are among those recruiting Carrington. Cincinnati head coach Mick Cronin had a midcourt seat for the steal and dunk.

“I like how they play,” Carrington said of Cincinnati. “They [had] a player form New York, Lance Stephenson.”

Cincinnati also features New Yorkers Jermaine Sanders and Jermaine Lawrence and New Jersey native Shaq Thomas.

“That will be a good place if I decide to go there,” Carrington said. “I’ll be playing on and off the ball.”

UConn and coach Kevin Ollie have also made Carrington a priority.

“Same thing, lead guard, on and off the ball, like [Ryan] Boatright and Shabazz [Napier] do,” he said.

St. John’s has been in the mix, and Carrington took an unofficial there last month.

“There’s no favorites right now, I’m just weighing my options right now,” he said.

Carrington said he plans to take official visits in the fall and then decide “so I can focus on the season.

"2014 New York Lightning guard Khadeen Carrington played his best game at Peach Jam by tallying 24 points and 7 assists on Friday. Playing the lead guard on and off the ball, he will likely keep this role going to the next level. Carrington did a good job of attacking the basket fearlessly and constantly, which was appealing because of his effort and ferociousness on the court. Wake Forest offered right before the Live Period began, but Cincinnati, SMU, UConn, Hofstra, St. John's and others are involved. Carrington has a great relationship with UConn coach Kevin Ollie and won't be impacted by the commitment of Daniel Hamilton there. At the same time, St. John's could be the sleeper in this recruitment."
