seaofred92 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 https://www.omaha.com/sports/plus/minnesota-four-star-ben-carlson-has-creighton-and-nebraska-high/article_695c0020-cbdc-5fda-83eb-cfe36b1f2bad.html Quote Nebraska and Creighton are two of the nine schools to offer Carlson. Several others come from the Big Ten — Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin — and Carlson also has offers from Stanford, Iowa State and Davidson. Husker assistant Jim Molinari is the lead recruiter on Carlson, and head coach Tim Miles has built a relationship with him as well. Carlson took an unofficial visit to Nebraska last fall and likes the direction of the program. “I went there in September last year for a football game, and they have really nice facilities,” the top-50 recruit said. “The basketball is getting a lot better too, and I really like Coach Miles.” The Nebraska coaches believe Carlson can fit a role similar to that of current Husker Isaiah Roby. “Most schools see me as a small forward or stretch power forward, but the game is so position-less now you have to play everything pretty much." Quote Creighton and Nebraska will likely get an unofficial visit from Carlson in August. “My sister has a volleyball tournament in Omaha in the middle of August, and I will probably visit Nebraska again and Creighton then,” Carlson said. Carlson isn’t looking to make a decision on his future anytime soon, but he knows what he's looking for in a college program. “A team that shares the ball a lot and plays really well as a team will be important to me,” Carlson said. “My team (D1 Minnesota) does that now and I really like playing on a team that does that.” 1 Quote Link to comment
