Five-star recruit Carter Bryant down to Louisville and Arizona

Carter Bryant, one of the top prospects in the 2024 class, is down to two schools: Louisville and Arizona.

The 6-foot-8, 225-pound small forward out of Newport Coast (CA) Sage Hill School currently does not have an exact timetable for a commitment.

The California native has officially visited both of his finalists. He tripped to Louisville back in November and is currently wrapping up an official visit to Arizona.

Bryant ranks as the No. 20 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Rankings — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies (ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, On3).

In addition to the schools mentioned above, Bryant also received offers from Duke, Gonzaga, Nebraska, Florida State, USC, Illinois, UCLA, Michigan, Oregon, and others.

Bryant on Louisville

“Louisville has a LEGENDARY coaching staff! What they have all accomplished individually and collectively is going to be hard to find anywhere around the country,” Carter Bryant said to On3. “I think what that coaching staff and the support of city brings a feeling that is hard to get at a lot of colleges. This year doesn’t represent what that program is capable of but down the line it is a program that could very well become a powerhouse in the ACC.”

“Arizona is a legendary school,” Bryant said to On3. “When a coaching staff that has welcomed me and my family with open arms comes in and gives me an opportunity to play for a staff that has produced so many pros, it is a school that will definitely catch your eye. How Coach Lloyd and the rest of the staff believe in their players and allow them to play with freedom is also important to me as well. The consistency that the program has showed over the past two years with a new coaching staff shows how the players and community has bought in to Coach Lloyd and the high level coaching staff out in Tucson.”
