This. Or anyone in his top 5 that was just released a couple weeks ago. I have heard about how he wants to play as a freshman and be THE guy...which does put SDSU at an advantage over UW, UNLV and Baylor. Probably will take all his officials and decide spring time. If he's looking for guarantees then I'm not sure he's the type of player I would want. The only way to be "the guy" is to show up and be better than everyone else. Kawhi earned it, Jamaal earned it, and whoever is next will have to earn it. No handouts at SDSU. I think Fisher would generally agree. As would most coaches. But in big time college hoops and with big time recruits, guarantees become a big part of the game. Playing time is definitely a factor when we start recruiting guys at this level

You have to earn every minute you play at San Diego State, but if I wasn't confident in you ability to be our main guy, I wouldn't be recruiting you." Case closed.

Most recruits will ask about playing, as they should. The coaching staff can honestly say the team is losing two or three SG ( Tapley, Rahon, possibly Jamaal to the NBA),most of our scorers . We have shown we put the best players on the court and have a proven track record of playing quality Freshmen,(K . Leonard...... ). We have watched you,scouted you , believe in you and feel you would find a home here at SDSU. Friends and family ,will be able to watch you play at the V, or even some road games in the LA area.Take the time to talk to current and former players. How many players have made San Diego their home , is the same true for guys who go to Baylor, ....

We are going to lose almost all our scoring ability next year, particularly if Jamaal leaves, too.
Hamilton not only is the answer we need as a pure scorer with all the defense we have coming back, but he will be the most proven recruit we have ever landed. Right now it's Shepard, but he played on a loaded Findlay team and had more of a role playing role. His scoring ability needs to improve, and with our coaches behind him, it will.
Hamilton's game is just about complete as we speak. He can shot from anywhere on the floor, has good handles, can create space and can play through traffic and score. On top of all that, he's played and had success against some of the country's top D1 competition throughout his HS career.
I can totally see him being "the guy" as a freshman and he's done enough to prove that.
In fact, if Hamilton comes here, I don't see him playing for more than two years before he goes to the NBA.

Isaac Hamilton has the skill level of a Chase Tapley but lacks elite athleticism, size and length to be considered an NBA prospect. San Diego State is a place where he can come in and immediately have an impact on a team and possibly start all 4 years.. I'm afraid if he goes to a high major D1, he'll find himself being eventually recruited over just like Tyler Lamb and Norman Powell over at UCLA. At San Diego State you see a trend of Veterans experiencing success and groom the youngsters along the way. In the 1 and done era, SDSU is uniquely positioned to build a Top flight program second to none by landing 1 or 2 potential NBA prospects every year, while maintaining a veteran core. The only team in the Country returning a veteran core comparable to SDSU is Indiana.

I don't think he's would be any different at a high major D1 than those guys. He's better off at a school that's not going to recruit over him immediately. Daniel Hamilton is going to have it even tougher because he's ranked very high, but his game doesn't support his ranking.

I'll Take that out of Isaac anyday.

What's missing from Isaac's game is the elite athleticism. It's easy to average 20 ppg at the high school level when you're taking 20+ shots every game. So the fact that he averages 26 ppg isn't what I'm focused on. Now if he comes out and drops 40 on a good opponent this year, I'll take notice.

People who don't know any better might actually take you seriously.

Hamilton can easily grow another inch and a half to two inches within the next two years, he's only 17. Although he's not the most athletic SG out there, that can be picked up with some college coaching. I'll use Stephens as an example of someone who doesn't have "elite athleticism" but has clearly picked some up within the last year, and according to you BBA, is supposed to be this year's MWC defensive POY.
Hamilton is already an agressive scorer who can attack the basket when he wants. You add some muscle to that with D1 experience and he can be a lottery pick if his game is good enough.

Do you even watch basketball?

Athleticism = jumping high I'm looking at his lateral movement and i'm not thoroughly impressed. The one thing he has that's elite is confidence. He'll find a way to get 20 shots off every game. As a result, he scores a lot of points. In high school, if you have guard skills in a 6'5 frame, you're going to experience some success, and you'll likely get rated high, especially if you have an older brother in the NBA.
