Tim Floyd could possibly leave UTEP for USC...what about Isaac Hamilton?

[RayRay19]

Isaac Hamilton committed to UTEP but Floyd might be heading back to USC. I know Ollie was making a run at landing Hamilton before he committed to UTEP. If Floyd does leave, what do you think of our chances to grab Hamilton?

I thought Floyd had been fingered as handing cash to a runner to get Mayo but after reading the ESPN link I guess not. Seeing as how Hamilton went to UTEP to play for Floyd I'd imagine he would just follow Floyd to USC if he went back there as long as UTEP does not block USC as a potential school for him.

He's from cali ofcourse hell just follow him to USC

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I feel dirty just reading about Tim Floyd.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Me too I need a bath.

If USC hires Floyd again that has to be one of the worse hires in recent memory.

Since Hamilton signed with UTEP, they could put a provision in his release that he can't follow Floyd. Didn't Indiana or Wisconsin do that recently to a player, and it caused a huge fuss because they blocked every decent school the kid was getting interest from.

It was Wisconsin, and it was BS because their coach didn't leave and they blocked everywhere.

I don't think you should really be blocking players--but it's vaguely understandable about blocking them from leaving with the coach (vaguely--still against it). What Wisconsin did was enough to make ESPN talking heads get annoyed at Bo Ryan for the first time anyone had an opinion about Bo Ryan. I mean, if the guy was an ice cream flavor, he'd be flavorless.

Mike Hopkins interviewed for the job.

That is much more interesting to me then Floyd interviewing, because of course Hamilton follows him, why is that even a question.

The Squid. Just wanted to make this thread even more dirty.

I agree with everything you wrote. I was just saying it's possible.

No, I know. Stating a fact doesn't, and shouldn't, bring with it an endorsement of that fact.

There was a slight twist to that one. The kid wasn't an incoming recruit. It was a player who was already on the Wisconsin team for a year, but he was a redshirt freshman. Ryan basically blocked all other schools which Wisconsin would play or "might" play in the future, even for a couple years out. It was silly. I believe the kid eventually transfered to Iowa, which is the same conference... so Bo will see him again! Ha
