I think ( almost ) everyone agrees that
Hamilton can't cut it in the BE. He is averaging about 5 pts and 3 rbs, but gets just killed out there. Turnovers, lose w / the ball etc etc
Here's a specific alternative...
Jermichal Stillwell. Stillwell was at UWM and is now at UCF ( of the B12 ). He's
6'9" about 225. At UCF this year he's averaging 12pts / 9 rebounds per game.
Having seen him play , he's a force.
I'm pretty sure Shaka could have kept him in MKE with any effort... instead, we have
Hamilton and Clark
What is it ? Did Shaka not seen how woeful his front court is? Does he want to continue to use his full array of pedantic and silly acronyms? I don't get it ...
It appears an errant philosophy based on viewing the current college BB landscape and rules.
I think they need to start Parham and have Hamilton be the backup to Ben. I just don't think that two big lineup is working.

...but do we have the financial resources which I believe is the primary reason for RGV. Even if we get a decent transfer that is no guarantee of success. The dream of a MU Natty is pretty much out of reach unless we have a sugar donor to pony up and compete for top athletes.

Ya...I've stated this since like the 2nd game. I understand the concern on the glass, but we can't guard with 2 bigs on the floor. Ben can occasionally defend the paint, that's about it. All three struggle mightily with individual and help defense.

His name isn't Jermichal, but what makes you dream up that "Shaka could have kept him in MKE with any effort"? The guy is from the south, now back in the south and on a solid b12 team with a well known coach/player.
JB - ok JAmichal. You happy ?
Dream up ? You think that little of Shaka ? He couldn't sign this type of player ? I thought HE is a " well known coach "
I thought MU had a well known coach who could recruit? But ... if you are happy with the AWFUL team he's put out there then that's on you.
I actually see a lot of progress in Hamilton. He had double digit rebounds last night. I think the issue is that it is too soon to expect him to play this many minutes.
