Caedin Hamilton Commits

[MuggsyB]

Maybe an additional piece of the puzzle for this season. Find it interesting that it looks like he will be part of the team immediately. My gut tells me that Shaka thinks he can get some minutes from him this season.

Goose,

This MU team has weapons all over the place.  Size never hurts.

8 minutes of highlights.  No dunks, no defense shown.  Come and redshirt rather than go to prep school?
Big kid.  I look forward to watching his development.

[Lennys Tap]

Hey Brew, what do you mean by this?

+1 - what changed in the last week?

Brew tweeted, "I think we might need that extra big sooner than hoped."

[tower912]

I assume much will be revealed at tomorrow's open gym and Shaka's corresponding media availability.

[Miss Katie’s]

Also not sure they were ready to take him as a 2023 a week ago.


This comment and your tweet seems to hint MU will be down one of their bigs and that may have spread up this process. Am I reading into this correctly?

That's how I took it as well.  Doesn't sound good. 

[WhiteTrash]

I 100% trust Shaka but he doesn't look like a Shaka type. 6'10" below the rim player? Plenty of very good college players fit that mold but doesn't feel like an MU type. I also know about 1/100 about college hoops than Shaka does.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Cryptic comments like that aren't particularly enjoyable.

[BCHoopster]

Ben Gold is not a center, Al is a rail, always need a big body at times to at least defend, like the pickup!

6'11" 240-lb physical presence. Averaged a double double last year in high school. Likely projects as a physical defensive presence initially. Had interest from some solid mid-majors & seemed like a breakout candidate as a prep player, but will likely come in pretty raw.

Also not sure they were ready to take him as a 2023 a week ago.

They had the spot for him in 2023 a week ago. I am not sure this is true. They might have only offered him with a RS in 2023 before that. There was only 11 on the roster.

A certain player got some money from a booster who specializes in europeans.

[jfp61]

He was gonna visit Gonzaga after MU. That is interesting.

[mileskishnish72]

Looks a tad slow in the clips. But 6'11' 240 is not to be sneezed at.
Didn't really hear about him until the last couple of days but in Shaka we trust.
Nobody wants the kid to have a great MU career more than me and his mom.
Welcome, my man.

[DarkWarrior]

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY CAEDIN!!!

[We R Final Four]

Welcome to MU!

[Shooter McGavin]

Hell Yeah!  Welcome to MU! 

I hope the comments from Brew simply mean the kid was blowing up last week and we needed to make a move ASAP.

[MU82]

Well done, Shaka. Welcome Caedin!

Is nobody else concerned with Brew's cryptic responses?

Just me? Feel like this should be discussed more.

Yeah. Kinda weirded out by it. Went from quite excited to wondering where Oso is.

[Cheer4MU]

Could be that Oso has made it known he will be gone after this season, but I still think with two open scholarships it made sense to get a long term/high upside big man in the building. Could be an injury to a current big, but I doubt Caedin is ready to be the answer there. Could be what Shooter said about Caedin blowing up and Shaka deciding to move quickly.

Whatever it is, Brew you've got us on pins and needles!

1. Marquette had one other 2023 offer still out there. https://wvsportsnow.com/what-does-ofri-naveh-bring-to-west-virginia/

2. Gonzaga became interested in Hamilton, thats different than Drexel.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Welcome Caedin!

He just shrank 2 inches. Uh oh.

Definitely not just you. I'd rather someone say nothing than put a comment like that out there.
