Jalen Carter turning down visits with any team outside the top 10

[tm1119]

Seriously dumb, who is his agent? Does he realize if he impressed someone enough they might TRADE up to take him in the top 10!?!?
What an idiot. Now he looks even worse and more entitled.

The #1 power agent in possibly all of sports Drew Rosenhaus…and I’d bet Ralosenhaus is the 1 behind the press knowing this, not Jalen Carter himself. It’s all part of the game and I think it’s more than fair to say that Rosenhaus knows what he’s doing.

Could it potentially backfire? Sure. But 0% chance Carter decided to tell the media this himself without Rosenhaus knowing.

 

[RS12]

Agent is Rosenhaus who is confident he won't drop out of top 10.

 

[DFWJC]

what about the 22 other teams that could trade up on draft day?

smh

 

[MikeT22]

This kid really seems like a poor decision maker

Well he did go to Georgia

 

[Creeper]

To me this is yet another yellow flag with this kid. He sounds like he has a bad attitude. At this point, I wouldn't risk a top 10 pick on him. He may be a team crushing head case.

 

[xwalker]

Jerry bribed his agent...

 

[Flamma]

It won’t happen but just imagine if no one drafts him in top 10 or for that matter in the 1st round

I'd stay away from this guy. If it was just the drag racing, no big deal. But the pro day, and now this, I'd want no part of him. Mistakes and bad decisions are one thing, but but being lazy and arrogant are not good traits.

 

[Risen Star]

We should trade up into the top 10 now, bring him in for a visit and then trade back down.

 

[NotForLong]

Well yeah. Sounds like the kid doesn't interview well & Drew's trying to limit his contacts while presenting the positive spin that you have to be in the top 10 to have a chance.

Wait til it's time to renegotiate, will be a nightmare for any team

 

[btcutter]

Does he understand how much money he's costing himself??? Millions!

Agreed Drew is behind the move, however the player makes the choice. So the player agreed to the tactic and he deserves the criticism.

DR is pretty sharp; but then again some of these prospects think the sun shines out of their butt. Hard to tell.

The speculation that he is a lousy interview seems legit; thus DR spinning it this way.

Just to not get good vibes from him in any way.
