Carter comfortable with Cards

By wire services

Former Lakewood star Pat Carter, the Georgia Tech transfer who was supposed to start anew this fall at South Florida, then at Florida, says he has found a home.

Carter was scheduled to take a flight today to Louisville, start classes Monday, pick up a football scholarship in January and begin competing as a receiver next fall.

"I'm getting the vibe that they really want me there," said Carter, who will have two years of eligibility after sitting out this season.

Carter said he initially chose USF because he wanted to play quarterback, but changed his mind after seeing the way coach Jim Leavitt felt about the six quarterbacks already on campus.

"I don't feel too confident in their quarterbacks, but it seemed like coach was content with his players," said Carter. "He said he only wants players who want to be there, and I never felt 100 percent sure I wanted to be there."

Carter won't be able to travel with Louisville when the Cardinals play at Raymond James Stadium on Sept. 24, but he'll be a senior when Louisville returns in 2007.

"I don't feel too confident in their quarterbacks, but it seemed like coach was content with his players," said Carter.

This kid will be playing Div 1-AA within two years, comments like those indicate a lack of intelligence.

It's all about playing time.

And the comment about only wanting players who 'wanted to be there', that probably means you want to be at USF - EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT THE STARTING QB. Probably, not what he wanted to hear.  8)

Who cares...This kid seems like an arrogant a-hole who thinks he can skip from team to team expecting them to bend over backwards...Not good enough to play at Florida and too good for USF but can play for Louisville...this kid has his head in the clouds...

No, but exactly what we want to hear!  ;D

Does this guy really think he is going to beat out Brohm for the starting QB job in Louisville?  What an idiot.

[Greg Auman]

carter has given up any thoughts of playing quarterback in college. he's going to louisville as a receiver -- likes the idea of catching passes from brohm, not trying to take his job ...
