TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — UPDATE 5:30 p.m.
Carter Bryant announced in his late afternoon livestream that he'll be committing to Arizona when he launches his college basketball career in 2024.
"I will be playing college basketball at the University of Arizona," Bryant said, as he unzipped his jacket to reveal a red Block A t-shirt underneath.
"I felt like it was the best program for me from the aspect of the person I am as a student athlete, so I just felt like it fit me the most on and off the court," he continued.
Bryant said the "pedigree of the coaching staff" ultimately helped him solidify the decision.
"I know their development is some of the best in the country, so I know that when I get there, I'll get better."
