Wendell Carter Jr., who this summer won a gold medal with the USA U17 team and was named to the All-Star Five Team at the U17 World Championship in Spain, has cut his list to four schools.

The 6-foot-10 Carter Jr. trimmed North Carolina, Arizona, Kentucky and Cal from his previous list of eight.
Duke remains the favorite for Carter Jr., who continues to talk with fellow Class of 2017 star Gary Trent Jr. about playing together in college. Trent Jr. has set officials to UCLA, Arizona, Duke and Michigan State and is also considering Kentucky.
Mohamed Bamba is also in the mix for joining the two at the next level.
“We talk about it here and there,” Trent Jr. said at the Peach Jam. “Me and Wendell seriously, but Mo joining us, that’s a possibility as well, too.”
Interestingly, Harvard made the final four for Carter Jr. and the final seven for Bamba.
“It could happen, but it’s not a package deal,” Bamba said this summer. “We talk, we’re friends and we joke around a lot but it’s not a package deal. He’s doing his recruitment and I’m doing my recruitment.”
