Tommy Hamilton

Da Coach said:
I have talked to a couple extremely knowledgeable people in the Chicago AAU scene, and I think Bradley is better off that he made the decision for DePaul. That's all I'll say so I don't say anything offensive, but he will not play significantly at DePaul, and probably wouldn't have played much at Bradley. I also predict he'll be at DePaul no more than 2 years.

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree?
 
Someone mentioned hear they heard it was probably for the better TH went elsewhere.... then I see tweets on twitter one from the Schmitt bros saying it is a huge get for Depaul...

what is it?!

If he is motivated and gets his weight in check, he could be a force. He has a high ceiling. Unfortunately, he has shown tendancies like his dad that he isn't motivated and could be a waste of talent.
 
so he has yet to qualify? he needs to qualify to help DePaul out of the cellar - this explains why a lot of schools didn't waste resources going hard for him...,
you would think making sure the kid is qualified is Job #1 since he can't help us if he can't play.

"skilled shooter & ballhandler"???? I thought we wanted the guy as a low post banger?

The Trib's list is sure different than every other list of schools I have seen offering him - he reportedly said DePaul & Bradley were his only offers..

yeah isn't that guy referring to EVERY offer he once received since his freshman year because I know plenty of big boys offered him his sophomoreish year


How does a coach go about rescinding an offer?

Nobody ever doubted that he had skill and size. It was his work ethic, heart, and ability to stay healthy that has been questioned. Let's see if he can stay out of his coach's doghouse.
 
Tommy had a decent game but not notable in his 2nd outing...8 pts, 4 rebs
...as DePaul plays poorly and loses at home to So. Miss. Hamilton's frontcourt teammate is Purdue transfer Sandi Marcius who has contributed next to nothing - last night scoreless in 18 minutes.
 
Season almost over - and a look back shows Tommy Hamilton did not help DePaul very much

maybe he'd have done OK here - but he was very inconsistent and foul prone....
and he's been demoted recently from starter to sub... at a time when a couple of wins over beatable teams could have moved them up a slot in the Big East.
But he did average 7.8ppg & 5.2 rpg but a surprisingly low 39% shooting - for a guy who plays mainly right at the hoop.
It'll be interesting to see if he stays at DePaul should there be a coaching changeover.
