Carter Domingue commits to Cajuns

[Hatch]

Just asking, for someone who has not seen this young man play, would you compare his skills to say, Steven Wronkowski?

I have not seen him play in person only on video but from that I would say he is more athletic, a better distributor, better defender, better off the dribble and more willing to attack the basket than Wronkowski. Wronkowski may have had a better outside shot and a little bit more size.

Good comparison to Steven Wronkowski. I would say Carter is also a better finisher at the rim. I think the football experience will help him. Helped make him stronger.

Correct.

Carter is the overall better player. I also believe his shot will only get better. A steal for sure

not sure if it changed but the way academic scholarships were viewed by ncaa were different for “full counter” sports than for “equivalency” sports

My understanding is that since he has a complete full ride academically, there is no NCAA issue. He would have that scholarship if he were not an athlete.

I would guess he won't get the "full cost of attendance" portion with just an academic scholarship?

Academic Scholarships at that level come with room and board if that is what you speak of. A "full ride" is a "full ride."

Full cost of attendance athletics scholarship includes extra spending money dollars. We are only state school that offers that beyond LSU. Academic scholarship does not include that. However CArter is eligible for additional non UL sponsored academic scholarships such as Kiwanis Club. That could approach the full cost of attendance athletic scholarship. I trust counselors At STM are looking for those. Carter was on with Kevin Foote this morning. Linked interview follows. https://audiomack.com/1037-the-game/song/13124505L

Academic $ are bundled together. You may have $ from various grants and scholarships from various sources that add up to more than the dollars needed. You keep the difference

That is my understanding as well. Carter Domingue is one of the few athletes that may have his academic scholarships (note-plural used) be of greater value than a traditional athletic scholarship.
