Two days after 3-star point guard Mac McClung decommitted from Rutgers basketball, Steve Pikiell lands a big time frontcourt scorer in JUCO big man Shaq Carter.
The 6’9” Carter took official visits to Rutgers Xavier, Washington State, and Middle Tennessee State in the past six weeks and held over a dozen mid to high major offers. They include Purdue, Auburn, Iowa State, LSU, Wichita State and Memphis, according to 247 Sports. Rutgers was able to secure Carter despite major competition for his services. He will likely sign officially during the November signing period and is a major win on the recruiting trail for Pikiell and the staff.
