Minnesota transfer Marcus Carr down to Texas and professional opportunity

After entering the NCAA transfer portal in March and then recently removing departing the NBA Draft process, former Minnesota Golden Gophers guard Marcus Carr is now down to two final options.

After visiting Austin earlier in the week and canceling a planned trip to the Louisville Cardinals, Carr is deciding between the Texas Longhorns and a professional opportunity in Australia, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports and Nick Harris of Horns247.

The news marks a significant development in a high-profile recruitment that also features the likes of Kansas, Kentucky, and Louisville, although the current dead period complicates the situation — if Carr is on campus on Tuesday, he wouldn’t be able to meet with the coaching staff.
