He certainly has talent but yeah i'm with you...it cannot be...HCKO will make him work hard. Hard to instill if it's not there thru HS. It has to be...he's a hard worker now, HCKO will mold him & refine him & push him to that next level.
Now, with that said, i really have not watched much film on JC. hearing good things but i guess we'll see how his season goes b4 i make an assessment. Hope he's a hard worker cuz he has some gifts. Guess we'll see.
Really like Carlton's passing game. Will be nice to have a big you can feed in the post who is able to kick it back out to the perimeter for an open shot.
Aman has a video interview with Carlton and his coach posted in the Fieldhouse: https://connecticut.forums.rivals.com/threads/video-uconn-mbb-commit-josh-carlton-and-hc.5857/

This season, Carlton is showing how he has improved offensively this season. The Stags big man is looking more confident each game he plays.
“I’m more confident with the ball,” Carlton said. “I’m playing harder and more into the game. I’m doing better finishing around contact and around the rim.”

Thanks TCF for posting these...Like what I'm seeing from Carlton lately, looks like he's really growing into his body and looks quicker / more decisive on the offensive end than the limited film that was out on him when he committed. Don't know if he lost weight or got stronger, but he's going in the right direction and looks like he's becoming a more confident baller as he mentioned above.....which often takes a little longer with bigs as I mentioned when he signed....that one move he made @ the 5:15 mark Brimah couldn't make if he had another 4 years in Storrs..

Traditionally UConn 5 men are not offensively skilled but rather are garbage scorers on offense and rim protectors who can run the Court on defense. I am more interested in how good this kid will be as a rim protector. I don't want to see rim assaults all year next year.
Sorry guys but I dont see much in this kid. Sloppy, no power.............can develop for sure but man I wish we had a beast coming in......and this isnt a beast. Project at best. Enoch looked better in HS than this.
You wanna see slow and sloppy ? ( my first impression ) look at the (HS soph) "highlights" of this kid at the 2:40 mark ( all I could find) from back when he first committed.
From what TCF has been posting lately, there's certainly an improvement and still some upside to be had, but can he play D, rebound or position himself ? That will be the key to him getting a sniff of PT...Enoch even though he's a soph like Jalen is almost 2 years younger than him and younger than 3 of the FR (Vance, Vital or Vital) and still gets lost in that regard. Somebody at the 5 (can Durham borrow 35 lbs from a FB player?) is gonna have to figure it out next year or KO's gotta get a grad transfer/ JUCO, re-class or even an overseas guy who can play right away with the 2017 board pretty empty.....
