Jason Carter Signs

Jason Carter, a very athletic 5-9 sophomore combo/shooting guard from Barton County C.C. in Great Bend, Kan., signed with Hawaii, according to assistant coach Jon Stuckey.

Carter scored 24 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out six assists on Sunday in a game RivalsHoops.com watched in person. It was 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 was previously looked at by 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.
