I didn't realize the Elfrid Payton Elite connection.

Happy to hear this news! Congrats!

This will end up being one of the biggest steals, being he is a walk-on, in the Marlin era. This kid will make an impact.

Carter is not your normal "walk on". His academic scholarship is a full ride from what I understand. If your school is paid for, what difference does it make where the dollars come from. Sometimes the walk on term is a rather negative label. It indicates a kid is really only there for practice purposes. Definitely not the case here. They believe the kid will help them right off the bat. Probably will be a key bench player. Football background gives him strength that will make him strong with the dribble. In HS, he threw alley oop passes to teammates. Occasionally that did not work out. Now he will throw them to Malik Wilson. That should be entertaining. Credentials are impressive. MVP of the state tournament for his division. State Class 4A MVP. A leader on four straight Division 2 state championship teams. Senior stats were 18 points per game, 7 rebounds per game, 6 assists per game, and three steals per game. STM played an extremely tough schedule and beat teams from every classification in the state. Today yielded good news for the Cajuns basketball program.

And similarly to Elfrid, I don't believe Carter had many (if any) D1 offers.

I was told he had some offers coming in following the state tournament. Granted they were other mid majors. I do not know details there however. Now consider the circumstances this year. There are as many kids in the portal as there are players returning to their teams. That is causing recruiters to look at experienced players more than HS guys. Also, many teams sign their top players in the November early period now and go for transfers in spring. In Carter's case, many schools had no idea he would have the outstanding senior year that he did back in November. I am sure there are lots of other HS guys in his situation. Fortunately for him, he has the academic accomplishments to fall back on for his school finances. By the way, his Dad played Reds pickup ball for many years. More than held his own against younger former HS guys who are regulars there. Also, plays "smart". I am sure Carter picked up some of those "instincts" from him.

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.
