In this story:

It is decision day for four-star forward Chase McCarty (IMG Academy, FL), and Georgia Tech and head coach Damon Stoudamire hope he chooses to come to Atlanta.

McCarty is set to announce his college decision today and he is down to five schools, with Georgia Tech being among them. Tennessee, Kansas, Houston, and Texas Tech are the other schools that are hoping to land the talented forward.

So where is McCarty going?

While he currently does not have any 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions, he picked up a prediction to choose Houston. On3 College Basketball analyst Jamie Shaw logged a prediction for Kelvin Sampson and the Cougars to get the commitment from McCarty.

Here is the scouting report on McCarty from 247Sports analyst Adam Finkelstein:

"McCarty is a big-bodied scoring wing who bases his attack off his ability to make tough shots. He’s very adept at scoring over top of contesting defenders, both from behind the arc and in the mid-range area. He needs minimal separation to get his shot off because he has very little dip in his release and can also square his body up to the target as he is rising up into his release. Physically, he’s long, strong, has solid positional size at 6-foot-5, and is able to create space by going right into contact. McCarty has also shown a willingness to take smaller defenders into the post, where he is a threat to overpower them and score over top of them. The combination of that strength, physicality, and multi-range scoring ability makes him a very tough match-up for opposing defenders. The next steps in his development are to sculpt his frame in order to maximize his footspeed and explosiveness. He may have some potential to switch onto bigger players defensively, but could lack the foot-speed to keep in front of opposing guards, especially in open space. Offensively, he should be able to put more pressure on the rim, as he typically puts the ball on the floor looking for his pull-up and not necessarily for paint touches, even though defenders should be forced to close-out hard on his catch."

It would be a huge win for Stoudamire to land McCarty and add him to the 2024 class. He won a huge recruiting battle earlier in the cycle by getting a commitment from four-star guard Jaeden Mustaf and McCarty would be a great addition.
