Would we even have a scholarship for him? He's a good kid and I actually thought he would turn out to be better then Mike Henderson...but there is obviously something wrong.
He's quick and athletic and a great shooter. If he came to UNI, I think that he could definitely help us. Remember he would have to sit out a year due to transferring. -
I personally don't think he is a D-1 athlete. Great athlete but he looks lost when is on the court, he is playing more like not to screw than actually create.GO PANTHERS!!Comment

Could be caused by Steve Alford's coaching.

Carlton hasn't found his niche at Iowa. For whatever reason, he just has looked lost ever since he has stepped out there, and really hasn't progressed a lick since his junior year of high school. However, nobody has developed talent better than Coach Mac, and I think he would be very helpful to Carlton if the opportunity presented itself. However, with a lot of young talent like Brown, Stewart, the kid from Bondurant and the kid from Minny, it's not like he could just easily step in there without improving.Comment

Most East High Basketball players are not ready for the DI level. Henderson and Frashon McGhee at Cleveland State are a couple of exceptions. Not much coaching going on on a day to day basis at East.Comment

I am curious as to how this situation is comparing to that of Mike Henderson. He had a heck of a time adjusting and even had to sit a semester for academics. This year he has finally found his groove and is playing up to expectations. Maybe Carlton Reed will straighten out as well.Originally posted by Hime_PetersonComment

Mike has certainly gained a lot of confidence this season and that's nice to see a kid from Waterloo doing well. I hope Carlton will get comfortable in their system because he does have the skills to be a pretty good basketball player at Iowa. He really just needs to relax and play. I don't think he looks lost. I think he's pressing to make things happen and doesn't just play.
That being said, I think he could fit into Mac's system and sitting out a transfer year and practicing with the team would give him a year to learn Mac's system and gel with the players on the roster. I ahte to see kids unhappy...hopefully he gets it figured out. Good luck to him no matter what happens."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

The big question I have is, did he redshirt already? If so, then he sits out a year and would only have one year left. Then it would not be worth it. Otherwise maybe worth a chance, though it might be nicer to see Raffington be able to join the team if we had to choose one.Comment

I normally hear high praise for the coaching staff at East high.Comment

This is Reed's 2nd year out of high school, as he is a year behind Henderson. Therefore, if he were to transfer here he would sit out a year and probably have 2 years of eligibility left. I personally think that Reed would be a great addition at UNI, but coming up with that scholarship might not be the easiest thing to do...Originally posted by Khan4Cats

McGraw does have a good name across the state and a lot of wins. I went to high school with his youngest daughter at West, and believe me, what he does on a day to day basis in that gym does not count as coaching. Ed Madlock does an ok job, but is still "one of the guys" so he doesn't get a ton of respect from the team.Comment

He takes so many bad shots, not Mac's kind of guy. Was really suprised he was recruited as high as he was. Never found him to be all that impressive.Comment

Reed was a good player in high school and I think that Iowa recruited Henderson to get Reed to come along with and the way that situation has turned out Henderson is a better player than Reed. With the way Reed has played I don't think it would be smart to bring him to UNI. We have lots of up and coming players so I don't think it would be worth our time.Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."Comment
