Best case scenario: DHam shows up as promised in the Fall of 2014 & his skills dramatically improve the Huskies' opportunities for success.
Worst case scenario: DHam decides to take his talents elsewhere at the last minute and UConn cannot find a replacement at that point.
Potential mitigating circumstances: DD and/or RB come back for their senior year and we have plenty left in the cupboard for success (RP coming, TS, OC, AB, PN, Kelis Fisher, LT all returning and we add Sam Cassell, Jr. and Rock Lubin) & then address the recruiting deficit in the 2015 and 2016 classes.

If we lose out on Hamilton, but DD comes back for his senior year, we won't be in too bad a shape on the court.

I'd be more concerned about the perception problem and what it tells recruits in 2015 and 2016. I think that if Hamilton bails, it becomes that much more difficult to convince stud recruits that UConn is an appropriate landing spot for top-tier talent. I'd be worried about the snowball effect.

I understand where you're coming from, but a 25+ win reg. season, and a deep run in the tourney should ultimately remedy this concern."......DHam or not

When I first read that Hamilton wasn't going to sign his letter, I thought that he was leaving his options open. Now I'm not so sure. All I can say with some certainty is that UTEP left a bad taste in his parent's mouth!

He could also come, only stay for a year, and scare off 2015s and 2016s who can play the wing.

No single recruit has a long-range effect on a program's reputation. Harkless bailed, his handlers said bad things about us, we won a title and Daniels took his spot. And forward we go.

@arteus_crook I only tweet what I see. Some people tweet what they want and have no clue what's going on. Lol.
