Cam Carr's commitment moves Tennessee's 2023 class into the top 15

On Tuesday, three-star Cam Carr told On3 he is committing to Tennessee. This is Rick Barnes and Tennessee’s fourth commitment in the 2023 class, moving them up to No. 13 in the 2023 On3 Class Rankings.

Carr joins four-star center JP Estrella, four-star shooting guard Freddie Dilione, and three-star power forward Cade Phillips for Tennessee. The Volunteers 93.97 average player rating from their 2023 recruits now ranks them No. 2 in the SEC.

The 6-foot-4 guard chose Tennessee over a final group that included Kansas State, Northwestern, Virginia, and Louisville.

In Carr’s words

“I chose Tennessee for the overall experience,” Carr told On3. “The coaching staff and all the people involved with basketball and helping me become better as a player and a better man.”

Scouting report

Cam Carr is a late-blooming guard prospect with a thin frame and a 7-foot-0 wing span. He has some ball skills and is smooth with his handle. As he continues to get stronger, he should gain more pop. Carr is a good athlete, able to take off after attacking closeouts. Carr transferred from Manhattan (KS) High to Branson (MO) Link Academy. He has grown from 6-1/6-2 to 6-4 or so, and he may not be done. The guard has a smooth jump shot with consistent form and a repeatable release. Strength will help his balance off the movement, and in game, he shot 94.4% from the FT line during EYBL play. Carr’s dad, Chris Carr, played for 6 years in the NBA. He is currently a college coach.
