Carter Jr. also made the U16 team that will compete in the FIBA Americas U16 Championship this month in Argentina.
Carter recently added offers from Kansas, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest as well, while Duke is interested.
“I’ve called them,” he said. “I’ve talked to [assistant coach Jeff] Capel before, and my coach texts Capel. He told them that they offered me, but I don’t know if it’s official or not.”
According to Andrew Slater of 247Sports, the offer is not official, as head coach Mike Krzyzewski is the only coach who’s able to hand out offers. Photo: 247Sports.com
