Caedin Hamilton Significant Contributor ?

[panda]

Will he ever turn into a significant contributor? Some folks on here thought I was a heretic for saying he had no business being on this roster last year.

I think Hamilton takes the cake for all time most hated player on this board. I can't stand the dude being on the team either but damn.

I don't understand polls without an Arby's option.

[CountryRoads]

No. If he transferred to a low major, still no.

I miss the days when Joplin was the player everyone complained about most.

[Pakuni]

Keep in mind, none of this is on Caedin.

I don't hate Hamilton, it's not his fault he should be playing in the Southland or Summit League but instead Shaka is trying to make some kind of statement starting him on a Big East team

Agree - any chance he is shaka's nephew? Has there been a 23 and me ran?

[WhiteTrash]

It is really bizarre that he's on the team. Shaka is going to lose credibility with the team by playing him.

Every time Caedin screws up, Shaka takes minutes away from Lowery.

I wonder if the players have these conversations. Like "wtf is player xyz doing here" or what's up with the recruiting" etc

You have to think so. Those guys know hoops better than us.

What player on this team has the right to ask that question?

A month ago, I complemented Hamilton for what he has done.  He was a zero rated high school recruit, who worked his way to a scholarship on a BE Major team. He redshirted and learned for two years and became a starter on that major BE team.  But, it's not his fault he is put in this position, because he should be playing maybe four minutes a game as a backup, to a real, more capable BE center, one that Shaka never signed.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Agree with poster who asked does Caedin have something on Shaka

[BM1090]

Caedin does a lot of the little things right. Unfortunately, he does none of the big stuff even decently.

This. Management of expectations has never been the strongest for this staff, but it's now a full on liability.  At this rate, I'm not even sure what we are doing anymore. The kids not a Big East level player, no matter how much energy during practice or on the sidelines he shows.

Maybe you should have complimented him instead.

[Stretchdeltsig]

I think Shaka gambled on recruiting him. Unfortunately, it's a swing and a miss.

[tower912]

The thing is, I saw on the floor last night that Shaka is rewarding those working the hardest in practice.  You saw DO finally have it pay off.  You saw Royce have another decent game offensively.   With regards to Caedin, you can see the footwork.  You can see the effort.   You can see everything except the payoff. 

With regards to the rest of the team, you see them getting the shots they want.  And then thinking, and guiding, and hitching. 

Much like the defensive rotations.  Still not there.  Still thinking instead of doing. 

Sigh. 

It would be nice to see that be the new normal for DO. 

[cheebs09]

I will say, Cardin is always up on the bench encouraging the guys and super into it. He looks like a great teammate. He might have a future as a coach when his playing days are over.

[Hards Alumni]

I miss the days when Joplin was the player everyone complained about most.

Were you around for Derrick Wilson?

[NCMUFan]

I miss the days when Joplin was the player everyone complained about most.

We only complained about Jolpin.

[NCMUFan]

Caedin has an intimidating looking glare.
