Rutgers basketball commit Airious ‘Ace’ Bailey is no joke.
A five-star recruit, Bailey is having a tremendous summer where he has simply dominated, showcasing his ability to get to the basket and play above the rim. After participating in the USA Basketball U19 national team camp, Bailey has continued to play at a high level.
A 6-foot-9, 200-pound power forward from McEachern (Powder Springs, GA) committed to Rutgers in January following the Scarlet Knights overtime win against Ohio State.
He has certainly lived up to the hype. At some points this summer, he has been simply unreal.
The dunk here is unreal, as is the physical force from Bailey as he gets to the rim.
ACE BAILEY WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE 🤮 @AiriousB

It appears that seated behind the basket is Dylan Harper, the top recruit in the nation. Harper, who plays for Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.), appears to have gotten out of his seat after getting a tremendous view of the dunk.
Harper is being heavily recruited by Rutgers, including the program attending a couple of his games with the United States U19 national team in the recently completed FIBA World Cup.
