Each year young athletes are using cooler ways to announce which college they’re committing to. Prized power forward Wendell Carter took the cake with his commitment video.
Carter was the top uncommitted prospect in the 2017 recruiting class, on Wednesday he committed to the Duke Blue Devils. Carter chose Duke over in-state schools Georgia and Georgia Tech; he also chose them over Harvard. He has reportedly already signed a letter of intent.
via ESPN:
Carter, a 6-foot-10 power forward from Pace Academy (Georgia), is ranked No. 3 in the ESPN 100 for 2017. The top player at his position, Carter is a dominant performer inside. He averaged 14.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.4 blocks on the Nike EYBL circuit with Team CP3. At Pace last season, Carter put up 21.6 points, 13.6 rebounds, and 5.5 blocks, leading his team to a state title.
He also won two gold medals with USA Basketball, the 2015 FIBA Americas U16 Championship and the 2016 U17 World Championship. Carter averaged 10.1 points and 7.4 rebounds in just 15.3 minutes this past summer at the World Championship.
Carter is the third member of Duke’s 2017 recruiting class. He joins five-star guard Gary Trent Jr. (No. 8) and ESPN 100 wing Alex O’Connell (No. 88).
