Wendell Carter Jr., who recently 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 eight schools.
//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js The 6-foot-10 Carter Jr. is down to North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Arizona, Kentucky, Georgia, Duke, Harvard and Cal. 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. 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.” Harvard is among the schools also recruiting both Carter Jr. and Bamba. “It could happen, but it’s not a package deal,” Bamba said. “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.” Follow Adam Zagoria on Twitter And like ZAGS on Facebookfinal 8 ???? pic.twitter.com/lJu6lJKGox
