Cassell Jr. just told me he has officially signed!

You do good work. Fact based reporting!

 

[3uconn]

Lubin's AAU coach told me that he won't sign today. Most likely tomorrow.

Ollie wouldn't hold him to an LOI if he asked out of it. Would only be negative PR for him in a world where everyone viciously attacks coaches who try to teach young men a lesson that they should honor their commitments. Could be fatal blow to a young coach and stain on a program that seems to be fighting for its reputation every few years. On the flip side, convince him to sign that LOI and if he tries to back out you allow it and bask in positive PR sunlight as a hero. Might get you a pity commit from a 5* who sees playing time open up.

On the other hand, it would already be pretty bad PR and a nail in the coffin of our reputation to have our only 5* recruit in 3 years declare that we're not an appropriate landing spot for someone of his talents.

Here's a picture of him signing. It's more of his teammate but he's in it. View attachment 4202

Well He's prepared for Storrs with the winter stocking cap

@ebosshoops: Also no news yet on when Daniel Hamilton will sign with UConn.

Evan Daniels, in reply to that tweet:

@EvanDanielsFOX: @ebosshoops I don't think anyone actually expects him to sign with UCon

Say what?

What the heck is going on?

They should have stuck with Devin Robinson if any of this is true.

It's beyond crazy that Jerry Meyers, Evan Daniels and yes the Goober are so absolutely certain he is not coming to UConn.

You can bet they are hearing this stuff from a good source.

 

[Burnsbros23]

I'm assuming he means sign a letter of intent and not that their is little chance he comes here.

 

[Burnsbros23]

The family just had a horrible expierence with letters of intent lets hope he remains a verbal and signs in the spring.

Seriously, a lot of smoke here...

The experience they had was all due to Isaac's decision to sign with UTEP. I'm sure if he had verballed with Arizona or Washington or Oregon or originally UCLA, they'd have no problem signing at all.

UCon? What an . I know its twitter, but that is just douchey...makes you question his accuracy.

 

[aceboon]

After what his family went through I'm not sure why you are guys are suprised that there might be some reservations with him signing an LOI. While I would feel alot more confident if he signed it, it would make no sense for him to string KO along this long if he didn't want to come here, or fly all the way across the country to see the team play and then come back to campus, or for KO and the staff to not go hard after other wings besides Larrier, if Hamilton wasn't coming here.

FWIW, Jerry Meyer's prediction of UCLA mysteriously vanished from the crystal ball a couple weeks back (so much for transparency at 247sports...), however, some dude named Bodie DeSilva grabbed the torch today and made a prediction for UCLA.

Based on DHam's recent twitter feed (in addition to the unofficial trip to Brooklyn and Storrs) I'd think he's still solidly committed to UConn and might be avoiding a LOI right now based on his brother's situation, as many others on this board have said. Until anything otherwise comes out (other than random bloggers saying "I really don't think he'll end up at UConn...just because...blah...blah") I'll assume he's still committed to UConn.

That makes sense to me. I could see him going elsewhere but I don't think any public or private information suggests it at this moment.

 

[kansashusky]

Every day he doesn't sign makes me more and more worried Daniel Hamilton will never make it to UConn. He can say all he wants that he loves his UConn fam on Twitter, but actions speak louder than words and he has yet to sign a LOI which means that he is not 100%. I hope I am wrong.
