On Tuesday, Nov. 15, Keith Carter, a 6-foot point guard, signed his National Letter of Intent to attend and play basketball for Saint Louis University next fall. The crafty guard is known for his high basketball IQ and versatility.

“We feel good about the possibility of him being an adroit post feeder,” Head Coach Rick Majerus said. “Keith is an athlete with blow-by speed who can get to the rim. His decision-making skills belie his years.”

Carter, a Chicagoland native, is a senior at Proviso East High School. The guard has started all four years with the program, and he led his team to a 22-6 mark in his junior campaign.

“On paper, Keith is the best guard that we have recruited since coming to Saint Louis University,” Majerus added. “He is a special player, in that the game makes sense to him.”

With the signing, Carter joins 6-foot-6 forward Jared Drew as a member of Rick Majerus’ 2012 recruiting class.

Not only is Majerus excited about Carter’s potential on the court, but he also expects the incoming freshman to excel in the classroom. The guard ranks in the top 15 percent of his class.“He’ll fit into the SLU mold of academic excellence very easily,” Majerus said.

Carter also considered offers from Loyola University-Chicago, Northern Illinois, Toledo and Creighton.
