I’m not one to criticize Ford’s recruiting and I haven’t researched Carpenter, but this falls in the curious/reach department to me. At 6-6, 195, he seems to fall into a position of strength for us.  

No such thing as a reach when you have only 9 scholarship players for next year with the possibility of fewer with transfers.

Carpenter is up to 6'7 205, jumps like French and recently scored 40 points against the #1 prep team in the country.  This offer is a big deal.

Good observation...m the other hand some can fall into the trap of focusing solely on body type vs basketball skills...the Oakland A’s won a lot of games picking up people the scouts disregardedbecause they didn’t pass the eye test. Body is one important factor, sometimes overblown.

Glad to see this video had a section on Defense.  Most of that was blocking shots, but a few were on-ball segments. It's pretty easy to get highlight videos of a 6'7" guy dunking on a 6'er.  But watching some of the D gives a better perspective of the young lad's potential.

Yeah, this dude is filling it up lately for Mt. Zion Prep. Like 3star says, he can play a 3 or a 4.

Robert Carpenter - SF, 6-7, 205 - Detroit, MI (Mt. Zion Prep, MD) - Twitter: @trillestrobb

Offers: SLU, St. Joe's, St. Bonaventure, Temple, Tulane, North Texas, Youngstown State, Eastern Kentucky, Iona, Stony Brook, Southern.

Interest: La Salle, Central Florida, Drexel, East Tennessee State, Cal State-Fullerton, Southern Utah, Mt. St. Mary's, NJIT, NC Central.

Latest News: Carpenter received an offer from SLU. (2/21/19)

Scouting Report: Carpenter is a tough, versatile forward who can play the wing or as a slightly undersized 4. He can score on all three levels and has a consistent stroke off the catch or the dribble. He rebounds aggressively at both ends and has a good sense of timing as a rebounder and shot blocker, aided by his leaping ability. He handles the ball well and is effective in transition. He was a 2018 recruit at Detroit Cornerstone but transferred to Mt. Zion Prep in 2017 and reclassified as a 2019 recruit.

Sounds like Hargrove, no?

Interesting that we're offering a Bella Vista Prep kid, too. We've shown interest (allegedly, at some point) in Jeron Artest, the son of Metta World Peace f.k.a. Ron Artest, and a junior there. We've also offered Zion Harmon, who is playing for BVP on weekends (he attends Marshall County HS in KY).

Profile for Jimmy Bell coming this afternoon. (Side note: I'm not liking the common names of the last two offers. Players are a lot easier to research when they have less common names like Gibson Jimerson.)

Guy Phillips gives a sigh of relief though.
