Jerry Mayer predicts D Ham to UCLA on 9/17

[upstater]

I was responding to the post on the previous page by CTBasketball. I think we get Daniel, but its not a stretch to think UCLA's coach could find a way to play both brothers IF they went to the same school. That said, I fully expect Daniel to be UConn's next great wing.

There are six 2s and 3s there though. That's a lot.

What's their TV schedule look like?

I believe they are a Fox school. No one watches Fox.

Well he's a teenager and can be unpredictable. Its just a wait and see until he gets on campus. Can't fret and worry about what others are saying.

Going to college with your big brother is about the worst thing you can do. You will always be in his shadow in your own mind. In order to blossom socially and on the court he needs to forge his own identity. I think he knows it and I think it is why he chose to play clear across the country. He will be free of family influence and won't be worried about out shining his brother.

I spent several years working with my brother and every great success I had was tempered by feeling almost guilty that my brother wasn't as successful. In his eyes, he felt inadequate because of it. We went separate ways and both of us achieved greater success. As a bonus, we could enjoy each other's success.

Daniel will be Daniel at UConn. At UCLA he will be a Hamilton brother, and the younger one at that. I'm pretty sure Daniel knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it.

And what happens to all the other 2s and 3s?

New staff will likely lead to some transfers and Anderson says he is going pro. Doubt their will be that many wing players in '14. Not saying both Hamiltons will attend UCLA, just saying new coaching staffs usually lead to some transfers.

Already accounted for Anderson. I did not include him. Have a look again. Allen, Alford, Powell, Levine, Adams, Blueitt, Hamilton. That's 7. No Anderson.

His parents would hate it. Can you imagine?

"But Dad, he shootin' too much! Tell him to stop shootin' so much!"

"Am not! He started it!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Maaaaaaaaa!"

I didnt really check their roster either, but Allen and Alford look to be projects at best. Adams is the real deal if he can overcome some injury issues. Powell will be a senior, so he wont be in the way for long. Blueitt and Levine would really be the ones in the way right now. They are both excellent prospects and Levine is a deadly outside shooter but only 6'3 and could play some PG if he ever meets a shot he doesnt like.

When is the earliest that he can sign a Letter of Intent?

November 13-20 is the early signing period.

What about I Hamilton? You named a lot of people there. And, senior or not, Powell is there. Hamilton is a top 10 kid on 247. UConn fans are expecting 2 years from him. No more. His brother left early for the NBA. Even without the first 2 you would have six players at those two positions.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

As an aside, I watched some video of Levine. Kid is a freak athlete and he's better known as a shooter. Similar style to Russell Westbrook, his potential ceiling. He would definitely stand in the way of playing time for any prospect no matter how high they're rated.

You gotta hand it to Alford. He's recruiting well. He has both Isaac Hamilton and Blueitt coming in to compete with Adams, Levine and the others.

 

[aceboon]

Adams could easily declare after this year, its not a guarantee he'll be back.

 

[UConn Dan]

So, wait....Daniel has 'always wanted to play with his brother', so he'll commit to UCLA.

Now, if that were the case, why didn't Daniel commit to UTEP when Isaac was still heading there?

I hear what you're saying, but there's a big difference between playing with your brother at UTEP and playing with your brother at UCLA (name school, close to home). That said, I don't think Daniel will de-commit. I think Ollie has the kid sold on UConn.

Think Blueitt is on the verge of decommiting.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Id be shocked if dham decommited.

That opens up a spot for them to recruit DHam, to be sure. But it raises a big WTF about both the program and the kid.

Reading that last paragraph makes me think those Indiana kids all should look into being "Psyche!!" majors.

 

[Cassius Klaiber]

Would be nice if Blueitt being back on the market takes even a little of Indiana's attention away from Devin Robinson

I wonder how quickly they fire Ed Shilling?

Agreed. Would be very nice if IU went for a similar player in their own backyard. This could definitely be a boon for us, so long as DHam remains solid, which I have little to no doubt about.
