Aquille Carr of Patterson (MD) is one of the most exciting players in the country, and the 5-foot-7, 145-pound point guard had a solid outing in a big win over Plymouth-Whitemarsh (PA).

Carr said that Memphis, Connecticut, Kentucky, Seton Hall, South Florida and Texas currently comprise his top six and claims offers from all of them.In addition, he said Baylor, Texas A&M, Xavier, North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Maryland are recruiting him. He said Baylor, Virginia Tech and Maryland have offered.The jet-quick junior said that he does not have an individual favorite or two at this point. He has yet to take any college visits and does not have any trips planned, but noted he will take some “probably during [the] summer.”“Not yet, probably in [the] . . . beginning of my senior year,” Carr said of whether he has a timetable for a commitment.Asked what he is trying to find in a college, Carr responded, “Looking for a team that bases their offense around the point guard most of the time.”Although there has some talk that Carr may be headed to prep school for his senior year, he said that he will be staying at Patterson and will be eligible to play ball. Carr even said there is “no chance” he heads to a prep program.With the win over PW, Carr said Patterson’s record moved to 6-1 and that he was pouring in about 28 points per game. He talked about whether he feels any pressure when he takes the court due to all the hype surrounding him.“Not really,” Carr began, “I just come out and play and give them what they look for. I’m gonna live up to my hype.”
