Recruiting Report: Ben Carlson (2020)
East Ridge nationally ranked top 50 power forward Ben Carlson has been as active as anybody when it comes to getting out and seeing schools. Carlson recently took a pair of trips to Midwest schools.
In August Ben went with his family to watch his sister compete for K-State’s volleyball team and along the way went by both division one schools in Nebraska (Nebraska and Creighton).
“It was my second time at Creighton – the first was in September of last year,” Carlson said. “I was able to talk a lot more with the coaches, met the athletic director and the players came to watch my sister play volleyball. The biggest thing was getting to know the coaches more. I really like the coaches, coach Lusk and getting to know him more.”
After Creighton the Carlson family went to Lincoln.
“We saw the academic facilities and I talked to coach Miles and (coach) Molinari,” Ben said. “This visit was talking more about where they see me and where I would fit into their system. They have really nice facilities. (They see me as a) stretch four, mixed with a wing is the player they see me as.”
