Jerome Hamilton-Verbals to WSU

[tropicalshox]

Hamilton is a 6-7 PF from Warwick, Georgia (Worth County). AAU team is Georgia Elite. He has interest from WSU, Florida State, Middle Tennessee State, Auburn, UAB, Jacksonville, College of Charleston, Nebraska, Belmont, East Carolina, South Alabama, Tulsa and Purdue. This is not a misstake, as Rivals noted it's the same list as Javon Dawson's.

Class of '09

"...Jerome Hamilton continues to have a strong summer showing. The 6-7 forward is starting to show small glimmers of improvement on the offensive end of the floor. Rebounding, blocking shots and playing with athleticism continues to be the strong suit for the 2009 prospect."

Hamilton, who was impressive at the WSU camp, "continues to look like the best sleeper big man in the Peach State."

Hamilton is returning to Wichita this weekend for an official visit. He is now a Rival's three star.

I tell ya. This kid is tenacious and would make a great addition to the post.

I guess everybody is watching football, but I'm excited about him Sub. I watched the first half of one of his AAU games (Kingswood Classic) this afternoon before the power went out thanks to the weather. It probably isn't one of his better performances as he started catching eyes later in the summer. But he is a very active, hard working inside player.

Coming back for his second visit has to be good indication of him becoming a Shocker and I think he will be a very good addition.

He is at the top of my wish list for a PF. He's a little raw offensively but he will pull down every rebound he can and he knows how to finish at the basket. I would be a very happy Shocker fan if he wanted to wear the black and gold

Scout.com has him committing to the Shockers.

Thank you Coach Marshall and Coach Grant for your connections to the south

Great news for the Shockers! Sub, I guess you are pretty happy too about now. Sounds like a good get for us.

I love the part about choosing the shockers over Southern Ill.

Me? Happy? About this?



YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I AM!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:


I'll say it again, this kid is a little raw offensively and I know that he knows it and will work on it. He has a ton of energy and isn't afraid to compete. SIU would have loved to have him I'm sure. He does remind me somewhat of their type of player. He'll do whatever it takes to be successful and to make the team successful.

A high energy post with nice hops and will finish above the rim whenever the oportunity presents itself.

Have I mentioned how stoked I am about this? :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

I completely agree with Sub. This guy is strong and has energy. Everybody will be talking about how hard he works.
