Providence
As a sophomore, Carter transferred to Providence.[5] He averaged 13 points and 4.9 rebounds in his first season with the Friars.[6] After the season, Providence head coach Ed Cooley left for Georgetown University in a move that was widely criticized by college basketball fans. Many assumed Carter would follow his coach to Georgetown or explore another school in the transfer portal, but he chose to stay at Providence. This showed a loyalty to Friartown that earned Carter lots of praise.
In his second season at Providence, under first year head coach Kim English, he won both Big East First Team and Big East Player of the Year.[7] Carter averaged nearly 20 points and 9 rebounds per game, establishing himself as one of the best players in college basketball.
