Carl Elliott Makes Decision

Carl Elliott signed last April with George Washington University, and the 6-2 combo guard from Worcester Academy in Massachusetts will do the same thing this spring in 2003, according to head coach Mo Cassara.

Rivalshoops.com reported last week that Elliott played very well in the title game of the NYC Boys Club championship, a loss to Blair. He scored 18 points, six rebounds, three assists and four steals.

West Virginia was one program out of the Big East that specifically came in to look at Elliott this fall/winter. GW Asst. Coach Steve Pikiell was also in attendance last Saturday for Elliott's title game performance against Blair.

A Division I caliber recruit in football as well, Elliott is a strong and athletic combo guard who attacks the goal and finishes well. He hits the glass aggressively for a guard and is a physical defender. If he develops a consistent outside shot, he will be a very difficult match up for other guards to contend with.

Elliott attended Trinity Pawling H.S. last year, but narrowly missed qualiying academically. So instead of attending GW this fall, he detoured to Worcester Academy for a little more academic seasoning.
