I'm guessing the video is reason for him to be included in this dunk contest.

Looking good! His demeanor around the basket sure does remind me of Cle.

He does look like Cle. Hopefully he has the same work ethic.

Lots of similarities to Cle's game.

In another thread someone suggested that Hamilton was the most raw of the recruits and a possible redshirt candidate. From everything I've seen, if Hamilton is a 5-yer guy, he will be an absolute terror in his Sr. year.

I think he redshirts to learn the game a bit and improve his defense and body.

Classmates now know why recruit picked Shockers

Eric Hamilton faced his share of skeptics when he signed with Wichita State’s basketball team in November. People wanted to know why he wanted to play in the Missouri Valley Conference, or why he didn’t wait for a higher-profile school.

Now they know.

“People walk up to me every day and say, ‘Wow, the Shockers won another game,’ ” he said. “When I first signed, people asked me, ‘Why did you go to Wichita State?’ ”

Hamilton, a 6-foot-8, 210-pound forward from Duluth (Ga.) High, completed WSU’s fall signing class and Shocker coaches see him as developing talent in the mold of current Shocker Cleanthony Early. When Hamilton watches the Early and the rest of the Shockers play on TV, his choice is reaffirmed. He follows the third-ranked Shockers closely, taking with coaches and texting his future teammates. He also watches and realizes he needs to keep working so he can contribute early in his career.

“The fact they're getting things done in the MVC definitely proves my point, that I wanted to go a school that was not too small and not too big and plays the right kind of competition,” he said. “It's definitely motivating. It pushes me in order to try and get better to make that transition as smoothly as possible.”

Hood regularly comes to school to find Hamilton alone in the gym working on his shot.
