If it is true that Hamilton has eliminated SDSU from his list, then all I have to say is this kid comes across as a true mental midget. I mean, SDSU gives him the best opportunity possible to come in and start right away at a position of need next year. Especially with Shrigley redshirting this year. Why in the world he would choose UNLV or UCLA is way beyond me. Both are already loaded at the guard position next year, and there's no doubt that he would be fighting for playing time on either roster. Honestly, if this is in fact true, this is really bad news for SDSU recruiting. They're going to be very thin at the guard position next season with Tapley and Rahon leaving due to graduation, and J. Franklin possibly bolting for the NBA. Especially if he puts together a season this year similar to last year's. That leaves Shrigley as the only true option at the shooting guard position with no other real option's. Yikes! Are there any other legitimate options out there that they're pursuing at the shooting guard position? Any other highly regarded option's, and not just second rate scraps they're looking at

Let's just wait until the whole thing plays out. I mean, if he ends up choosing Iona, sometimes you just have to shrug your shoulders and move on.

If this dude misquoted the Hamiltons, I would expect them to clear things up soon. I know they are both on Twitter and have followers.

If we don't get Hamilton... we're pretty much screwed. Shrigs needs game experience if we expect him to step into the starting SG slot. Polee has no business being on the floor, Shep and Dakari are defensive specialists and distributors more than scorers. JJ ain't playing the 2... Would our starting 5 be: X Shrigs Shep JJ Johnson/Spencer

Allen is expected to come in and primarially be used as a wing at the 3 spot and Williams is expected to be the back up point guard to Thames. That still leaves us very thin at the 2 spot with Shrigley being the only legitmate opiton who(as myfaulk pointed out) will be very raw with no gametime experience due to him redshirting this season.

RIght now Shrigley is far from being "raw." He will only get better in a year.

That is a definite area of need come next season. Especially with Shrigley not only being the only true option at that position, but also the fact that he will be very raw next season, in terms of the fact that he will have no gametime experience due to him redshirting this season. Anyone know if there are any other legitmate options Fisher and co. are pursuing if the unfortunate event occurs of them not landing Hamilton?

So if Shrigley is considered "raw" next year, couldn't the same be said about Hamilton or any other incoming freshman? The sky isn't falling - Fish and co will provide. Any of these so-called raw players won't be so about 10 games in.

We did get SG Dakarai Allen & PG D'Erryl Williams, teammates from Sheldon High School coming in next year. Allen is expected to come in and primarially be used as a wing at the 3 spot and Williams is expected to be the back up point guard to Thames. That still leaves us very thin at the 2 spot with Shrigley being the only legitmate opiton who(as myfaulk pointed out) will be very raw with no gametime experience due to him redshirting this season. Wasn't the point Hamilton was making in the quoted remarks in the article that he was wanting to go to a place that was promising him a PG position (where he has to play to get to the next level, in his view)? SDSU now has Thames thru next year, Shep clearly being given PG duties already and another PG already committed for next year (Williams). Maybe SDSU is no longer a good fit for him. He was saying UNLV is pitching him on coming to become their PG, so it makes them a finalist.

We will be just fine with or without Hamilton. Obviously better with him, but not worried at all with the talent we will have coming back. We have a enough quality versatile wing players.

Young man with both feet on the ground. I wish him well and know that he is making the right school decision for him to get to the NBA. I respect him.

Hamilton wants to play PG at the D1 level, apparently, and we want him at the 2. We already have Thames (one more year), Williams and we will recruit a PG for the 2014 class.
No one who has seen Hamilton play will tell you that they envision him as a PG, even in HS. Doesn't mean he can't make the transition, but probably a big reason, if not THE reason why he cut us.

it no big deal...its not like other big recruits have not turned us down. But look at the program now, Fisher has built it with transfers and less wanted player...If Hamilton comes good, and if he doesn't then good luck to him....In order to be great you have to have compete for your spot and prove yourself. Looks like he wants the ball handed to him....Franklin earned all the accolades he has obtained so it wont be different for Hamilton...

It would be nice to get this cleared up and see if Danny is still an option as a wing in 2014?

Hamilton would still fit in better with SDSU, despite having Thames on the roster. Hamilton could come in and play SG his Freshman year [showing his scoring abilty big time] and then slide over to the point his Sophmore year. Shepard can still be the back up point guard and then talk Williams into redshirting next year? Allen is expected to come in and primarially be used as a wing at the 3 spot and Williams is expected to be the back up point guard to Thames. That still leaves us very thin at the 2 spot with Shrigley being the only legitmate opiton who(as myfaulk pointed out) will be very raw with no gametime experience due to him redshirting this season. Wasn't the point Hamilton was making in the quoted remarks in the article that he was wanting to go to a place that was promising him a PG position (where he has to play to get to the next level, in his view)?
