Hamilton Has Not Considered Transferring or NBA

[JimHurley]

Per Twitter

@DaveBorges: Daniel Hamilton says he never considered transferring, leaving for NBA. #uconn

It wouldn't have made sense to him to do anything but stay at UConn next season anyway. If he transferred, he'd be sacrificing a valuable year in his development to sit out. And he's clearly not ready for the NBA right now. I'm thrilled to hear this. Let's enjoy next season (which I think will be Hamilton's last).

Heh

A given he was staying. Who knows if next year will be his last. Pure speculation.. I think he stays at least three years. Again pure speculation.

I would love love love for him to stay for three years but I just don't see it. Let's remain hopeful though.

People thought he was doing anything but staying at UConn?

Yeah there were rumors that he was homesick and wanted to move closer to home.

People made that up. No "source" ever knew anything. One person mentioned it on this board and a 10 page thread of panic was the result.

I think one more year and he is gone. We all would love 2 but the NBA is on his radar and I think he will have a big-time year .

Dont tell Jeff Goodman

Why would he leave? He is set to be a hugely important player (possibly the most) for next year.

 

[RayRay19]

Why would someone even ask him.....doomed he's gone....

Who do you think started the rumor?

I'll never understand UConn fans, people are constantly complaining about us not bringing in enough talent. We bring in a wonderful talent in Daniel Hamilton and we seem to have a ton of people pushing him out the door. People talked about him transferring to UCLA up until his first game, then we had people saying he was transferring or entering the NBA, now he's definitely gone after next year. He was never going anywhere and we have no idea when he will be gone so just enjoy him while he's here and stop trying to push him out the door.

 

[msgordon]

you seem to have a weird definition of 'pushing him out the door'

Enjoy Hamilton while he's here instead of fretting about him leaving.

It was more than one person. Two at least.

He is not going to come out now and say " I considered transferring..." so in this case I am willing to put some faith in our one and only A TEAM insiders who fly around here with their Superman capes on. Maybe I will try and get 09and04 on the bandwagon but he will be a tough 1 to crack! lol

We all know who the Super2 are and quite freakin frankly they are a fun and for the most part intelligent part of this this dysfunctional BY thingy we call family. When I was so warmly welcomed into this institution with such open arms it was life changing to say the very least.

I would love love love for him to stay for three years but I just don't see it. Let's remain hopeful though.

I would love love love for him to lead us to a championship next year and be the number 1 draft pick.

Him staying three years is further down my love love love list.

I heard hes enrolling at ucla after the summer.

 

[alfonse]

Draft.net has him going 7th in the 2016 draft

So let's hear it from our top secret "sources", is this news all BS, or will they accept that they didn't really have inside knowledge?
