Carter Gilmore of Hartland, Wis. has broken many of the common stereotypes in the modern college basketball landscape. He spent five full seasons with the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team, in an era where players commonly transfer two, three, maybe even more, times during their college careers.
Gilmore, however, isn’t like the rest.
He began his Wisconsin career in the 2020-21 season, appearing in nine games, essentially only playing in “garbage time.” Come the 2021-22 season, Gilmore’s appearances did increase to 22 games, but he was still only seeing about nine minutes of action per appearance.
