Ollie Watching Recruits

[3uconn]

He was at the Curie vs. Bishop Gorman game. I would say he's there watching Stephen Zimmerman or Chase Jeter. I'm checking with some people to find out exactly who.

Daniel Hamilton is playing in the next game.

Ah you think he might be there for game 2 ?

It certainly could be that. He may have just shown up early and watched that game.

I'm here and haven't seen Ollie, Zimmerman got destroyed by Alexander.

 

[3uconn]

Well it looks like Ollie is there for Hamilton only:
@ebosshoops: #UConn boss Kevin Ollie is in the UIC Pavillion to check on Five-star signee Daniel Hamilton.

@IowaElites: CLUTCH GAME WINNER BY DANIEL HAMILTON (UCONN COMMIT) at the buzzer!!! SJB wins 62-59!

 

[HooperScooper]

Jeff Goodman will probably write that Hamilton shouldn't have shot the game winner because he shoots too much!

Here's video of Hamilton's buzzer beating 3:

Hats off to St. John Bosco's Daniel Hamilton (UConn) for that game winning 3 to beat Whitney Young. Extremely difficult shot, but he made it

Camron Smith ‏@camronsmith10m
A hilarious moment before that final play for St. John Bosco during their timeout. Hamilton pleaded w/ head coach Derrick Taylor to....

Camron Smith ‏@camronsmith7m
....give him the ball. Taylor's response, "I got youuuuu! You know I got you!"

 

[husky99]

Dorsey would be key

 

[HooperScooper]

That was a very tough shot. Especially for a high school player.

You also have to like that he wants to take the big shots. Not everyone wants to take those game deciding shots.

 

[GemParty]

Surprised there's not more buzz about Dorsey wanting to play with DHam or Daniel trying to recruit him to UConn.

I don't see Dorsey fitting a need . Didn't we just sign a top 50 combo guard in his class? Hamilton could easily be a one year rental as well. FYI I'll be happy with any commit, Ollie knows what he's doing.

I think the argument is dorsey is talented enough to be a freshman sensation and that you find a place for him on the floor.

Prince Ali is going to be like 6'6" when he arrives. He's not going to be playing point. UConn could certainly use another point, though Purvis and Cassell are certainly combo guards.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Purvis would be a junior and Dorsey a freshman in 2015-16. Dorsey isn't a must, but to say he wouldn't have a spot here is absurd.

That year we could start Dorsey at the 1, Purvis at the 2, Hamilton at the 3, Lubin at the 4, and Brimah at the 5, with Cassell and then Samuel as backups at the guard spots.
