C Hamilton v. Portal addition?

[Mu8891]

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.

You still have his name wrong and you didn't answer the question. Good luck.

Hamilton is Shaka's guy so I think realistically he has one of the lowest chances of portaling after this year. His role is way too big currently though.

Parham has been disappointing this year, but the fact that his minutes are basically the same as Hamilton is coaching malfeasance.

[Zog from Margo]

Hamilton gets a lot of attention because he's playing, but he's probably exceeded any expectations I had for him heading into the season. The problem with this team for me is that so many players are playing below where I expected.

Owens is a guy that I thought would play a lot of minutes and he's been awful. He's regressed as a player and seems a bit flighty to me. Parham has just recently started to play with a bit of energy but I thought he had a chance to lead the team in scoring. Parham is living proof that Todd Smith is not the miracle worker some want to claim. Parham is pretty weak. Norman has no offensive game and is maybe solid on defense. Lowery can't finish at the rim unless it's an uncontested dunk.

I'd start James and Stevens going forward and play for next year. Both seem like solid players who play much tougher than their upperclass counterparts.

I'm reminded of this clip every time ch is on the floor.
