Kansas basketball: Chris Carter is not your ordinary walk-on

Chris Carter will serve as a walk-on in his first year with Kansas basketball, but he could serve as a valuable asset in the long term.

The Kansas Jayhawks might have found a hidden gem in Cal State Northridge transfer Chris Carter. He committed to KU on Sunday and will walk on to the university.

Carter sat out his entire first year of college ball, and the Matadors used a redshirt on him. He’ll have four years of eligibility remaining when he joins the team.

Standing at 6-foot-4, 180 pounds, Carter is a freak athlete who can jump out of the gym.
