Class of 2022 New Commit: Carter Kempney (NY: Carthage) Mid

[CuseAlum87]

We are so darn paranoid after the 2018/19 flipocalypse, but the reality is that it's a very different situation when we pick up these recruits as they go into their Jr year vs their "verbal" commit in freshman year of high school. A little older, a little wiser, and a little more likely that they have a plan in place. (Cue half of them flipping and making this take look stupid)

In addition, a few of those flips went Ivy and you can't blame them for that. Also, Ivy's didn't do early recruiting--they didn't talk to kids until junior year, so kids would verbal somewhere and wait to see if they could go Ivy, then flip. The Zawada flip was something different.

2021 Brogden Cup - U18 Ontario Boys vs. U18 USA Boys

First footage of Kempney we have seen in a while here. USA rotates a lot of different guys and he also plays a little wing/two way for them so along with the short game time it is a very small sample. Despite that it is clear that he is an extremely fast and intimidating middie dodger. He has good size as well. He is #9 for USA.

Kempney is also doing pretty well as a running back for Carthage HS this fall. He ran for 312 yards and four touchdowns on 41 attempts against ESM last week, and another 145 yards against Whitesboro this week.

Man was it hard to find Carters games were he had his best games. Found this one camera quality is good but the camera guy has it super zoomed in for some reason. Carter had 6-1 in this one #3 in red.

Watched a little of this one last night too. Basically just skipped to Carthage's goals after watching most of the first quarter. Quality of opponent is weak, team even weaker as the opponent still wins by quite a bit, but in spite of that this is some very promising footage of Kempney. You can see why he is a 5 star recruit. The guy is a serious serious athlete with excellent footwork/speed off the dodge from up top. Strong too. The running back background is apparent. He can turn on the jets in an instant. Protects the stick well and dodges with his head up. Certainly has a hard shot, maybe not as deceptive with the shot location as others but fast and accurate. His best days should be ahead of him in that category.

Check out the goal at 1:19:50 in this. Shows off some very impressive burst in the middle of the field before ripping it stick side high. Guy chasing him is far from a 5 star, but still quite clear that Kempney has D1 wheels. Thank again Cuse4455!
