This is my first ever OP for me guys. Hope I did it right.

December 28th, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
Need more info. Who is he watching and what is their ranking?
December 28th, 2018 at 8:47 PM ^
looks like they're playing a traverse city (T.C. on the scoreboard) team?
December 28th, 2018 at 8:56 PM ^
Ok, I got the straight story.
He's there to see Carlos but Carlos is not in this game.
It is a holiday tournament and he's playing right now.
this was Traverse City against Redford.
December 28th, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
Sorry man, that was me wearing a Beilein mask. I just hoped I would get in the local paper. Didn't think someone from Mgoblog would see me and post it here.
December 28th, 2018 at 8:34 PM ^
What player(s) of interest?
December 29th, 2018 at 12:42 AM ^
Tobin Schwannecke, TC Central’s star point guard.
December 29th, 2018 at 2:39 AM ^
What? I graduated from TC Central, with Dan Majerle. Other than Thunder Dan and Tom Kozelko, we don't have a robust history of producing high level talent. It would be nice to see a fellow Trojan don the Maize and Blue
December 29th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
Well, there’s about 10,000 students in that school. Sooner or later they should produce a player.
December 28th, 2018 at 8:38 PM ^
He's watching Carlos Johnson
https://247sports.com/Player/Carlos-Johnson-46036470/
edit** Not his first time there. My friend sent me these pictures.
December 28th, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
Got it. Thanks.
December 28th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
Borderline top 100 player and #2 player in the state? Yes please.
December 28th, 2018 at 8:57 PM ^
He has also got room to grow.
December 28th, 2018 at 9:03 PM ^
Thank you
December 29th, 2018 at 12:02 AM ^
Does he have an offer yet?
December 29th, 2018 at 7:33 PM ^
In today's paper his coach says Beilein has said soon.
December 28th, 2018 at 9:08 PM ^
matt d what's your take on Carlos Johnson? A 6'6" 180 power forward seems odd
December 28th, 2018 at 9:13 PM ^
Think he's more of a combo forward. Here's some (limited) discussion of him over at UMHoops: LINK
December 28th, 2018 at 10:06 PM ^
That’s a 4 most of the time in Beilein’s Offense. Think Livers, GR3, D. Robinson, Smotrycz. Even Irvin, Dawkins, and now Iggy play the 4. Only time we’ve had two “bigs” out there was when we started Wilson and Wagner in 2016-17.
December 28th, 2018 at 11:38 PM ^
I mean most of the guys you mentioned were relatively built 6'7"+ guys and then Duncan who is 6'9". Carlos Johnson is a rail thin 6'6" 180. Kid would need to put on at least 40 pounds to play the 4 imo
EDIT: Someone compared him to Romeo Weems which is guess makes sense at the 4 and it's possible the 247 measurements are outdated
December 29th, 2018 at 12:51 AM ^
Duncan Robinson is nowhere near 6’9”!
December 29th, 2018 at 11:50 AM ^
He's never listed less than 6'8"---so not really nowhere near 6'9".
December 28th, 2018 at 9:13 PM ^
Oh my...this kid is a player...a complete player. I'll take him as my 6'6" PG-OMG does this kid see the floor...a tremendous passer...what a match-up nightmare he would be!!! I see why Beilein is there!!!
December 28th, 2018 at 10:53 PM ^
I didn't see nothing that exciting watching his highlight tape. Seems like a fine payer who is slightly more athletic than the other guys he’s playing with and against. I mean doesn’t have great ups when you’re winning 80-24 it’s pretty easy to make nice passes
December 29th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
The kid is a helluva of a player with a very high basketball IQ. You clearly do not know what to look for. The kid makes the game look easy because he knows how to play...and to make his teammates better as well...and that is why Beilein is there. I would not be surprised to see his rating rise.
December 28th, 2018 at 10:57 PM ^
Thanks Carlos!
j/k
December 28th, 2018 at 9:27 PM ^
If I read things right, looks like Beilein was there a couple weeks ago as well. Will be interesting to see if Scooby gets an offer.
December 28th, 2018 at 9:40 PM ^
WHAT! I live near the area that's nuts!
December 28th, 2018 at 10:23 PM ^
No, you mean you had subs and it was crazy. FIFY.
December 28th, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
Carlos Johnson will be a fine college basketball player for someone.
December 28th, 2018 at 10:48 PM ^
Think Benton Harbor is playing the Washington Generals. Should be a win.
December 28th, 2018 at 11:24 PM ^
Isn't Benton harbor empty after Labor Day?
December 29th, 2018 at 9:10 AM ^
Day after Labor Day is the best day in BH. Get the FIPs out and can get our town back. I'm up visiting family from KY and was debating going to the game last night and didn't, wish I would have now.
December 29th, 2018 at 11:52 AM ^
That's funny. To this day, whenever I see someone on the road driving like an ass that has has Illinois plates, I call them a FIP.
December 28th, 2018 at 11:26 PM ^
Actually South Bend Riley.
Not a pushover at all.
December 28th, 2018 at 10:59 PM ^
Hopefully he went by Redamak’s for a cheeseburger ?
December 28th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
Didn’t Beilein just have heart surgery?
December 29th, 2018 at 9:25 AM ^
If you can't have a cheeseburger every now and then, what's the point?
December 29th, 2018 at 9:12 AM ^
Closes at the end of October ...and way out of the way... haha
Better off getting a Henry's!
December 28th, 2018 at 11:01 PM ^
Love the Michigan swag. Where do I find those pants?
December 28th, 2018 at 11:47 PM ^
Just watched some of his tape and I'll be honest: nothing really jumps out about him imo. Seems like a guy who is slightly taller than the guys he's playing against and decently more athletic. Seems pretty good in transition but nothing that impressive. Can get to the hoop, but nothing outrageous in regards to finishing. Didn't really see any evidence of a jumpshot
December 29th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
You could be describing Lebron James or Kevin Garnett or Greek Freak in high school.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:33 PM ^
Really??? OK...whatever. Do you know what a basketball looks like???
Sorry about the snarkiness...but you deserve it...really, you do. The kid is damn good.
December 29th, 2018 at 12:05 AM ^
Assuming that we take no one else in 19-20 and that Iggy and Poole go pro by the time class of 2020 comes around, we should have room for 2 more prospects (besides Zeb who is already committed). I hope one of them is Walker Kessler for sure. Johnson looks like a good option as someone who can play 3-4
December 29th, 2018 at 10:03 AM ^
I'm really excited for Zeb Jackson. No matter what happens with his height and physical development, I think we're going to get a quality guard. If he grows a few more inches, then we have the luxury of probably playing him at either guard spot, and if he doesn't then we have a PG who can score. His skill set already reminds me a lot Jordan Poole and he may be more adept in the mid range than Poole
December 29th, 2018 at 9:26 AM ^
Thanks for the update
Go blue!
December 29th, 2018 at 9:33 AM ^
He might have been there to watch Scooby Johnson of BH. One of the top 5 to 10 players in MI regardless of class, believe he's a junior.
December 29th, 2018 at 7:32 PM ^
A little more from last night's game.
South Bend Riley is #6 in Indiana's class 4A so they are a very good team. Benton Harbor is also a good team.

Justin Brown is also on Benton Harbor. He is related to Jaylen Brown of the Celtics.
