Rowan "R. J." Barrett Jr. (born June 14, 2000) is a Canadian basketball player for the Montverde Academy and the Canadian junior national team. He was unanimously ranked as the number one recruit from all scouting websites for the class of 2019 but decided to reclassify to the class of 2018. He reclaimed the top spot in recruiting rankings after Marvin Bagley III decided to reclassify into the class of 2017.
The son of former Canadian international Rowan Barrett left his native Ontario in 2015 to further his career at Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida. He earned Most Valuable Player honours at the 2016 Jordan Brand Classic International Game, after tallying 22 points and eight assists in the contest.
In February 2017, he received MVP distinction at Basketball Without Borders during the NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans. Barrett was a member of the World Select Team at the 2017 Nike Hoop Summit, netting nine points in 20 minutes of play, while tallying two assists and steals.
He has already received scholarship offers from several major universities including Arizona, Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, UCLA and USC according to ESPN. Speaking to nbadraft.net in April 2017, Roy Rana, who coached Barrett at the 2017 U19 World Cup and at the Nike Hoop Summit, was quoted as saying about Barrett: "A star. A potential superstar down the road."
