I know that several sources have mentioned this in passing, but I'm skeptical. There are earlier, more substantial sources about his early life (eg, [https://theathletic.com/2289045/2020/12/29/overlooked-out-of-high-school-carlik-jones-is-turning-heads-at-louisville/?amp=1]) that don't mention that at all.

If we aim to be encyclopedic, all of these things would already be included in this article.
