Title: Ashley Hamilton - F - Gran Canaria DH (Spain) - London, UK - LOYOLA MARYMOUNT
Post by: JohnnyJungle on April 23, 2008, 11:01:57 AM
I'm actually not even sure of his eligibility or what year or how long he would have but I found that he has expressed interest in us. He is a 6'7 forward. I'm thinking he could have the same eligibility as Adam Hrycaniuk from Cincinnati this past season. He says its between Loyola Marymount, UCSB, Depaul, Davidson, and St. John's.

he may as well put scotch on the staff-- he'd be a more effective recruiter than Braicca.

Is he supposed to be an 08 recruit?  Is he eligible?  Is he a walk-on candidate?

I'm trying to find all of this out. I also highly he would leave Europe to be a walk-on.

A recruit fitting Hamilton's description was seen touring the campus hosted by Dele Coker this past wednesday. Can't say for sure it was him. All i know is that he was around 6'7-6'8 and wearing a cincinatti red hat.

As I understand it, it's a dead period right now, so I doubt Ashley was on campus making a visit.
Title: Re: Ashley Hamilton - F - Gran Canaria DH (Spain) - London, UK
Post by: peter on May 24, 2008, 01:31:45 PM
That's what I thought too (about the dead period) but teams are still announcing commits (like Jordan Henriquez) and according to Rivals, some point guard named Malik Stith committed on Friday. (http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=83329)

Post by: mkras99 on May 24, 2008, 02:09:44 PM
People can committ all they want during dead periods, but they can't take visits to campus, which is why I doubt Hamilton was on campus getting a tour from Coker.

Thanks for the clarification. My friend must  have mistaken him for someone on the team. Could it be Rob Thomas is a reds fan and has dropped 15 lbs?

Rob has dropped b/w 20-30 lbs. since the season ended from what I've read and been told.

Rob dropping the weight is an excellent sign. Less on the knees.

thanks for the update peter. Ashley was more of a 2/3 than a 4 despite the height we probably didn't have too much room for him.

http://slog.cstv.com/hodgereport_bb/2008/05/two_for_loyola_marymount.html

LMU is quickly going to become a VERY strong program...

Bayno is a real closer on the recruiting front. . and has a proven track record of developing pro players..   and now he has worked with an NBA team for a few years..     kids today will be very anxious to learn from someone with that depth of knowledge and experience...

Maybe SJU can bring him back East when Norm finally gets axed and puts us out of our misery..

Post by: peter on May 28, 2008, 10:02:36 AM
Didn't Bayno have a "pay a player" scandal?  Can't imagine St. John's going within a mile of a guy accused of paying players. 

But I see the benefits of a guy like that, and I don't know if that would hold me back from hiring someone (as long as they are also given some serious oversight).

The point?  He got caught in a scandal!  St. John's has shown an aversion to scandals, and unless something changes in the leadership, the school isn't going to hire someone with that kind of mark on their resume.  Or at least, it'll give them pause.

I would think that he has  buyout clause in his 5 yr/ $2 mill contract that he just started...

Point being he was involved in a scandal at UNLV which resulted in his firing. That was the question asked in the previous post
