He was seen as a complementary player to the three big men we brought in and a replacement to Carter. X was selling him on being a frosh with Carter as a senior and then take over after Carter. X couldn't offer immediate minutes but the "4" position gets thin very quickly once Carter is gone which is why X put on the full court press with Carlson. He was a definite need and not seen as a luxury.

It may come across as sounding like sour grapes, but in all honesty, I was just never “wowed” by what I saw from Carlson in the paint. He looks to me like a less mobile and much less physical version of Fremantle. It’s nice that he can shoot from outside, but I would love us to get someone with a little bit more toughness and physicality.
I feel like the coaches will end up finding someone who’s an even better fit for the team.

Unless you base your hopes on crystal balls this is not a shocker. He didn’t commit after his official visit. He didn’t commit after the ENTIRE COACHING STAFF flew to Minnesota the following week to get him to commit. And that’s ok. He is a good player but we aren’t talking about a top of the line 5 star recruit that’ll vault the program into another tier.
A 5th year senior is a good idea especially if he’s a glue guy/defender guy

Yeah, let's not throw shade on this kid's playing ability. He's one of the top forwards in the class. That's what the program is after, every single year. UofW got a good one for sure.

Unfazed by the Carlson situation, looks like Coach is determined to add a 2020 frontcourt guy. Nice to see him continue being aggressive in targeting 4 Star talent but if that doesn’t pan out Freemantle should tell Coach to apply the “bring a friend” strategy and offer Matt Zona of Bergman Catholic. He and ZFree had great chemistry and success playing together and are most certainly good friends. He’s kinda a more rugged version of Carlson anyway. Rising 3 Star and his recruitment is picking up. Just received offer from Vandy along with others from Notre Dame and Penn State.

I'm not really impressed by Steele moving on to other guys in the pipeline. That is an expectation of the job...just like in corporate sales, keep the pipeline full enough so that if you lose out on one, you still have enough to fall back on.
What I will be impressed with though, is if he can close one of these guys.
