Hamilton & Brimah Staying

[ASweet3781]

Great news. Now let's add a player or 2 that can help us next year.

 

[imno1]

I have a hunch. I'll let you know if I'm right in about 10 days

I'm sure this has been a difficult couple weeks for Daniel and his family. I am glad that his mother seems to be very well-grounded and smart. I think Karen Hamilton has just entered the pantheon of great Husky moms--and not a moment too soon now that Tanesha Boatright is moving on to the esteemed ranks of Husky alumni moms. Hoping that Karen gets to make into the stands for a few games next season.

 

[Stainmaster]

That has to be chap! No way anyone would imitate him!

I tried once. It takes a lot out of you.

Told - by solid source and confirmed by another person close to program. This took some work to prevent. Not just me making stuff up.

Thanks! Good to know that the staff and probably KO convinced DHAM that staying at least one more year was in the best interest for him as a basketball player. No way was he a definite first round pick this year. He was probably more of a high to mid second round pick No way would he transfer and delay his NBA draft by another year. If he performs like we all know he is capable next year with a great off season of working on his shot and quickness he will be gone the following one. Well I guess KO did do something great this year.

Now to Fishy's rumor about at minimum two people leaving. I wonder what backup player this is about?

Something, something... your mom.

If Hamilton was really homesick, how would leaving for the NBA (or, more likely, the D-League) have fixed that?

 

[Zionn]

Never said NBA.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Never said NBA.

Given that it isn't happening, is there any reason, other than to maintain some degree of mystique, that you wouldn't just tell us what you heard?

Plausible deniability.

Adams, Purvis, Hamilton, Brimah- LOB CITY

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

I took the UNDER on the over/under @2 players transferring posted by the BY Casino...Where /who do I collect my winnings from???

Fluedy and Mau can you guys help me out....or do I need to hire one of my "associates" to collect.

It seems like some of the people on this board think they're an insider when really they're just locked in the garage. They overhear fragmented murmurs and connect the dots the best they can.

Sounds like there was some credibility to this if you hear from Zionn and Fishy. Sounded like the kid had to be convinced to not transfer after being home sick. Sounds like KO did a good job. They were just putting out real credible information our there that was more in a state of flux last week. People need to chill as I rather know something than be blindsided by it.

 

[Leebo]

Putting out real credible information? There was no content to the post. Only a vague message that we were going to melt down, meant only to send the board into a tizzy.

Ah, right, you were the indignant one.

Just sticking up for Fishy and Zionn. Even though at 7'2" 363lb or what ever I guess Fishy can fight his own wars. LOL!

 

[8893]

The older I get and the more I do what I do, the more I realize a few timeless truisms:

Eyewitness observations vary by the eyewitness. Perception is reality.

Progress--especially that of teenagers--is not linear.

The first reaction for most teenagers in times of crisis is emotional; then fear/safety. Absorbing those reactions and helping the teenager to move past them and grow is the job of the parent(s) and/or other adults central to that teenager's life.

Things change.

Adams, Purvis, Hamilton, Brimah- LOB CITY

I honestly don't remember Hamilton dunking after the steal and break away dunk he had in the first month of the season. He's great at lobbing them up, but I want to see him throw down more often.

I may get flamed for this, but it's just my perception of him. Definitely a finesse guy in his freshman year. Obviously great potential regardless.

 

[huskiesnyc]

I think there's a better chance of our insiders "sources" being politely asked to leave the program than any players.

I have no idea how credible anyone is or isn't, I just think it's best that we take what we hear with a grain of salt on these matters moving forward because, 1) Whatever information may be out there is subject to change, and 2) It is not clear to anybody how much of the information we are receiving is verbatim, directly from the source, and how much it is one guy with a set of ears hearing some things and filling in the blanks.

I wouldn't be shocked if Hamilton really was considering leaving. It also wouldn't surprise me if somebody misinterpreted his or a family members words and took off with it.

Just for fun...how would Daniel fit in on this UCLA team? Any thoughts? So glad he is a Husky! Hopefully Purv & Dham tear it up next year!

 

[johnhuskies95]

If Zionn had posted word for word what he heard you guys still would've gotten upset. Don't pretend it's because he was cryptic.

 

[Husky25]

Just because Hamilton is coming back to school doesn't mean he didn't have to be convinced.

Ever hear the saying, "Don't tell me how the sausage is made.."?

Adams, Purvis, Hamilton, Brimah- LOB CITY

Lobs only happen if 1) our perimeter shooting is good enough to stop opposing defenders from helping down, and 2) the threat of the drive actually being finished is real enough to force Brimah's guy to come help.

DHam, Adams & Rodney have to make a few of those 8-footers, or Amida's not catching s*** on the baseline.
