“Obviously, I was ranked No. 1 in the 2019 class and now that I’m moving up to 2018 my goal won’t change,” said Barrett, who recently released top five of Duke, Kentucky, Oregon, Michigan, and Arizona. “I still want to be the best player in the class and the only way to make that happen is through hard work. I’m just having fun, doing what I love to do.”Check out the article in its' entirety by clicking here. Then watch Barrett work against Team USA below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDWobLS87Tk
