Jason Carter Has 7 School List

Jason Carter, a very athletic 5-9 sophomore combo/shooting guard from Barton County C.C. in Great Bend, Kan., has a number of mid-high Division I programs recruiting him as the spring signing period approaches.

Carter scored 24 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out six assists on Sunday in the Cougars' season ending 89-87 loss to Coffeyville C.C. at the Region VI quarterfinals.

Carter is a player who likes to play fast and loose, and his decision-making can be questionable at times. However, he is a scintillating athlete with a knack for scoring on the break and in bunches from the perimeter when clicking on all cylinders.

Barton Head Coach Ryan Wolf told JUCO Junction/Rivalshoops.com that Carter is being looked at by Hawaii, Texas El Paso, South Carolina, Oregon State, Cincinnati, East Carolina and Duquesne.

A third-year sophomore who red-shirted at Barton in 1999-2000, Carter averaged 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 2001-2002. He started all 30 games he appeared in, missing just one contest the entire season. Carter shot 48 percent from the field and 34 percent (49/146) from beyond the three point arc.

A native of Gary, Ind., Carter plans to take some official visits in the coming weeks, and we'll keep you abreast on where he plans to go, so stay tuned.
