Carter Domingue

[Duggie35]

Congratulations, and thank you, to Carter Domingue for the choice he is making! He obviously has better priorities and a higher calling than many of us on this message board! We Catholics are very fortunate that we have so many dedicated young men in the area following a call to the Priesthood.

I would have loved to have seen Carter play out his career here first but good luck to the young man.

Louisiana Men's Basketball sophomore Carter Domingue will travel to Jamaica this offseason to conduct mission work, connecting with the local population through the sport of basketball.

Domingue will be partnered with the Sports Reach Basketball which conducts yearly ventures to underserved communities across the world.

"I decided to go on this mission trip to Jamaica to share the love of the Lord," the sophomore said. "He has given me with others while getting out of my comfort zone to be pushed in new ways"

Congratulations to Carter and his family. He found a higher calling.

Higher than a 10 ft rim for sure.

For Carter that is a tremendous commitment and I applaud him for it.

But, even though he is an exception to the normal transfer that we are use to seeing. How many recruited players have graduated from UL or stayed the 4 years since Marlin has been here? Scholarship players, not walkons.

I don’t know the number but I can name some from recent years. Trajan Wesley, Cedric Russell, Steven Wronkowsi, Kasey Shepherd, Jonathan Stove, and Bryce Washington. Kobe Julien is on the verge of graduation. Earier Bryant Mbamalu also graduated. In addition there are several others who earned UL degrees despite not starting here. Those include Malik MArquetti and Frank Bartley. More recently Theo Awkuba, Brayan AU, and Durey Cadwell are in that number. Cadwell should count in the 4 year number as he has earned a bachelor’s and will soon complete a Master’s program. I am sure I missed several but those come to mind tonight.

Although I am sure this has been contemplated for some time, final decision must have been recent. He was participating in summer basketball workouts as recently as last week.

Maybe he will play in the church league.

Maybe he will play in the church league.

I know my money will be on the Seminarian’s when he’s eligible for the Seminarians vs Priest’s annual bball game at Cathedral.

Perhaps he got an NIL deal from Acadiana Religious to make this move! Ha

What an awesome young man.

Ive never met him, but as a Lafayette Catholic Parishioner, I can only imagine what kind of potential influence he can make on future youth. Not saying all youth will want to become priest, but to have someone with his athletic/ high school star background, that will go a long way to relating to kids and making it “cool” to be a faith filled person.

Congratulations, but more importantly, thank you Carter for answering the call to serve.
