Raleigh Leesville Road sophomore point guard Carter Whitt has been on the NC State recruiting radar since middle school.
NCSU offered Whitt following the John Wall Invitational (Dec. 26-29) this past winter, and he’s attended several home games at PNC Arena.
Whitt played with Team Loaded as an eighth grader, switched to Boo Williams 17s last year, and now is back with Team Loaded NC 17s. His play during the April evaluation period led to new offers from Boston College, Florida, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Clemson.
