The NCAA granted a sixth-year waiver to Michigan State graduate transfer Ben Carter on Monday.
In theory, that’s a good sign for N.C. State guard Terry Henderson’s chances for a waiver from the NCAA. In theory, because the NCAA doesn’t always follow its own precedents.
Still, Carter’s success is encouraging for the Wolfpack, — which as it stands at 8:45 a.m. on May 9 — has eight eligible players on scholarship for the 2017-18 basketball season.
Henderson averaged 13.8 points per game and led the Wolfpack in 3-pointers (78) last season. The 6-5, 190-pound guard from Raleigh would be a good fit in new coach Kevin Keatts’ up-tempo, 3-point heavy system.
