Looks like a solid get for 08. I think big men benefit most from a few years of weight training and development. If we can get 1-2 quality big men a year that don't demand playing time right away we should have a consistent pipeline of guys who can step right into the mix and be ready their junior and senior years instead of having to try and get an exceptional freshman every few years.
If the staff told you that. I would have to say Scoreboard. If the staff did not tell you that. I would have to say way to shut someone up on a message board.
rampton wasn't the most athletically gifted nor was he the most talented but he wasn't exactly a pile of turds in the lane either. I wouldn't consider him a total bust.
What Homan entered with from day one was attitude. He didn't have the strength to really back it up like he did later in his career. I don't remember what he weighed coming in vs. leaving, but he was never a rail. When he got stronger he was able to play position better so didn't get as many silly fouls.
GMAC must see some potential. I had said in a previous post that he hasn't played much varsity basketball yet. In the article that Chris Williams wrote, he said that Hamilton has only been playing basketball for 2 years. He probably goes to a big high school, so that is why he played JV last year. It is pretty amazing that he went from the JV team as a junior to the number 3 rated center in the West entering his senior year. That is probably a testament to the hard work and improvement that he has made. He will probably be a role player. I would like to see us be done and try to get some good players, like Royce White, Rodney Williams, or Trent Lockett for 09. Then finish with a great class in '10' with Dykstra and Barnes. I will trust GMAC on this one. He has an eye for identifying talent early.
God forbid the dumb-a$$ kid only get a 21 on his ACT's. After all, we all know that standardized testing is by far and away the single most accurate and infallible indicator of a person's intelligence...
Give me a break! As much as I enjoy this site, sometimes the sheer chutzpah of a few of the posters makes me shake my head.

I completely disagree...you don't want to waste scholarships on tall guys that can't play...can you say Brad Dudek?!
I hope this guy can play Big 12 basketball.
If you played Brad Dudek in a game of basketball. Brad Dudek would own you. You don't want to mess with Brad Dudek.
