Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 2811246, member: 2839"] Three years later, it seems to be working out for him. Good for him, but he did not exactly prove anyone wrong. With the advantage of hindsight, Hamilton apparently was not one for the college lifestyle. So looking back, it was good he didn't skip classes, have a low GPA, and declared ineligible, while taking up a scholarship. Worse, the program wasn't forced to decide whether to cover it up. On the other hand, no one knew the Ollie era was going to implode like it did. So Hamilton apparently benefited from not having his stock plummet. either. It still doesn't mean, from purely a standpoint of advancing from NCAA to NBA caliber basketball, that it was the correct decision at the time. Either Hamilton caught lightning in a bottle, or he blazed a trail (A trail that no longer needs blazing due to the new early entrants rules). [/QUOTE]
