I heard this also. Can't go wrong with 6-11 and 220.

Looks pretty smart with a near 4.0 and 21 ACT.

Nothing official but according to CR it is a 50% chance as there was 2 big man recruits here this last weekend and one commited. Rivals is also reporting Victor Davila to V Tech.

Not to sound negative, but this guy doesn't excite me.

People will still be bitchin about getting a "big man". Im sorry, but a 21 on the ACT isnt great, thats what i got the 1st time. GPA's are very deceptive.

Hopefully he blows up like that dude from Indiana, or the tall drink of water fro mMinnesota last year. Or maybe i dont care about his ranking and he can actually play college basketball.:idea:

I think everyoone needs to remember that GMac has a habit of developing awesome big men. Just look at what he did with Jiri and Grant Stout. I could go on and on but we all know the names. This is a good pick up just give him time.

Looks like stud to me! Gosh!!!

My thoughts exactly. If you have the ability to develop big men, and you have the ability to spot talent in them, you have a big advantage.

One thing to remember with Hamilton is that he doesn't have a lot of weight or muscle now but he has a long time to pack on the pounds. Anybody that thinks he'd step on the court with his current frame hasn't ever watched GMac do his job.

21 isn't great, but is a lot better than a 17 or 18...I guess we will see how it all plays out. Anyone have any stats on the guy?

I'm guessing Keith Van Horne didn't look like a basketball stud coming into college either. That worked out pretty well.

Thoughts of Skogs and Schaper dance around in my head :sad9cd:

 

[wheels686]

do we offer pomlee now since we got hamilton? I think that would be a good fit to finish out the class instead of waiting on stutz

IsuFan22 and brianhos can get him on a weight lifting program. He'll be looking studly in no time...

 

[Jer]

Gosh...... why is everybody picking on me?

I find the news in the article about a growth spurt in high school to be encouraging. Many times kids who grow late tend to be more athletic than ones who tower above their grade or middle school classmates. It sometimes takes a year or so to get used to the new size as compared to taller young kids who never do achieve the needed coordination.
