hes in but not playing well at all.Is he hurt or what?
He was basically the recruit to recruit Diallo. As you can see, after a year + of learning the system he just doesn't have the capacity or skill. Hate to harp on the kid, but he will not be effective to this program.

Fallacious Take would be a BY handle, especially for a troll.He was ranked higher coming out of HS than any other big on this roster. This is a fallacious take.
Where is your consistency? You can't say that you dont regard recruiting ranks when its the 2018 calss, and now "he was ranked higher out of HS, etc." when citing MD. The results speak for themselves, he hasn't helped w/ the easier/earlier part of the schedule or a tougher opponent. The little exposure we have seen was multiple fouls, bad positioning, turnover prone. This is after an RS year of "learning".He was ranked higher coming out of HS than any other big on this roster. This is a fallacious take.
I would love Carlton to show up contrary to what you've written. I can't predict that and I don't say that as any knock on you, but I do see things I like in addition to seeing how much he looked like an 18 year old among the MSU bigs.He is a pretty explosive jumper but that's it at this point. He sort of just runs around out there fouling. It's shocking how we can't attract a single top big man. Every year there is 30 minutes of playing time for a center or power forward that can come in and is ready to play.
I like Carlton too and think he will become at least serviceable but it's been so long since we've had a legit big that I think a lot of our fans actually forgot what it looks like.I would love Carlton to show up contrary to what you've written.

Not hating on the kid. But correct. He was never high D1 talent.He was basically the recruit to recruit Diallo. As you can see, after a year + of learning the system he just doesn't have the capacity or skill. Hate to harp on the kid, but he will not be effective to this program.

A lot of teams have guard oriented offenses but still always have competent bigs. Something tells me if we had a legit big he would see the ball plenty. Brimah saw the ball plenty and he was a horrendous offensive player.Don't understand why you think it's shocking we can't attract a top big man. KO has a guard orientated offense and is reluctant to include any big in the offensive flow. Granted that some of our recent bigs had hands of stone and lacked any decent post-up moves, but if you don't incorporate the big in the offense, you'll never get any top big men to commit. Call it lack of development of our bigs (Brimah and Facey) if you like, but that and not getting them involved in the offense means getting any highly recruited big is a long shot. Carlton had a nice post up move for a basket against Oregon and then never saw the ball again. You have to involve them more than we do to keep the D honest and to my point to attract top bigs.
