Daniel Hamilton article and interview

[Kitaman]

Next season we have a winner coming in. I haven't been this excited since the other Hamilton signing. There is no reason Daniel shouldn't play in a FF while he is here at UConn.

Ollie is setting up our future perfectly! Linky

 

[skyct]

He definitely has more meat and up than Rip.
Rip was not look anything special in McD game, also.

 

[sparky]

Looks real special. We should be able to spread the floor and if we can hit the boards consistently, run run run

whats hamiltons height

6'8.5" in shoes officially measured. Pretty much the same exact height as deandre daniels.

 

[UConNick]

6'8.5" in shoes officially measured. Pretty much the same exact height as deandre daniels.

With that length, he could be a defensive monster not only at this level (as a 2/3) but in the NBA as a 2.

 

[Dove]

Oh man, I love how he referenced that group shot that occurred around Ollie after the Germany game. Half the Yard knewhow specil that was. Dan Hurley saw it, too.

 

[Mike Honcho]

6'8.5" in shoes officially measured. Pretty much the same exact height as deandre daniels.

Does that include his hair?

Does that include his hair?

I agree in the Jordan game I thought he looked more 6'6" than 6'9".

If Kevin Ollie started a cult, I'd join

 

[intlzncster]

Whatever that family is doing, they ought to bottle it. They've got 4 boys who play(ed) major D1 basketball (UConn/Texas/UCLA/Miami). 1 currently a pro, 1 a future pro, and one a maybe.

I agree in the Jordan game I thought he looked more 6'6" than 6'9".

How can you tell when you don't know how much height the hair gives him? Also, he was officially measured. It's possible that it could be .5 inches off, but no more than that.

He was one of the smaller players in the starting lineups. It was evident. Just my opinion on actual height. Most measurements are very complimentary. I don't trust any of them until the nba combine. Boatright is even listed at 6'0"!

I believe in one of the video interviews on YouTube he was asked about it and joked that he combed his hair out for extra height.

 

[patrick]

I absolutely love that hair style!

I hope he keeps it all FOUR years!

 

[TheChamps990411]

he looks at least 6`6 id bet 6`7 1/2 easy. Saw him in the jordan classic the kid has a nice stroke and a quick trigger.

Schools listing height is not the same as being officially measured. Some players lobby for a generous listing. Boatright was officially measured at 5'10" without shoes on.
