    I really like how you think here.

      At times next year we could go pretty big, young and athletic without playing a true center.
      Three forwards on the court picking from MM, EH, ZB, and RK.

        Kelly played a couple of minutes at the five late in the year. At 6-7, 235 it's not the worst move.

          I'm with you on this.

            Maybe Marshall has just decided to keep doubling down on undeveloped African centers until someday one turns out to be Hakeem or Dikembe. If you keep buying lottery tickets, it may never work... But SOMEONE wins somewhere. :)

              If you want to see Hamilton's skill set as a 6-9 forward check out this game versus the #1 prep school:

              Sunrise -#1 Dupree McBrayer, #10 Nathan Bain, #12 Travis Munnings, #22 Bret Barney, #23 Eric Hamilton.Notre Dame - #1 Winston Morgan, #2 Jerry Johnson, #5 C...


              He plays 9 of the first 10 minutes in the vid. Defensive positioning is weak, but he shows off some decent handles, a step back 18 footer and a couple of really good moves around the basket. Really quick first step! I would have liked to see some rebounding.

                I got in the vehicle this morning and on the radio was some EspN show with them talking about Marshall, WSU and his incoming recruits. Which was pretty cool, even better they were pretty high on them.

                    Louisville always seems to have a couple and it's worked out pretty good for them.

                      Thanks for the link. He's got a good wide body for post play. I've seen other videos as well. I like him. Good handles for a big guy. Good shot too. Probably not 6'-9" though.

                        Are you sure that you are watching the right #23? Sunrise is in the dark uniforms and the only scoring I saw out of Hamilton was a freethrow, but there were several rebounds.

                            Yes Eric is #23 in the Black. Also you might recognize #22. Brett Barney 6'9" Center from Maize South.

                              Since I like to repeat random, unsubstantiated rumors, I believe that ESPN said something to the effect that Thon may reclassify to 2016.

                                I thought he already reclassified to 2015 from 2016?
