ISO Spotlight: What makes Chennedy Carter so special?

When it comes to college basketball in Texas, the big name coming out of everyone’s mouths ahead of the 2019-2020 season is Baylor post player Lauren Cox. Cox is expected to be a top-two pick in April’s WNBA Draft and was the cover athlete for this year’s Dave Campbell’s Texas Basketball, so there are plenty of reasons why people should be talking about her.

But Texas A&M guard Chennedy Carter is ready to challenge for the title of the best women’s basketball player in the state. Carter was sixth in the nation in scoring last year at 23.3 points per game, a mark that made her the state’s top scorer. The junior is already receiving draft hype and could leave A&M early, as she’s projected to be a top-five pick when April rolls around, though based on the recent history of underclassmen not entering the draft, it’s very likely that Aggies fans will have two more years of Carter to watch.
