Misleading and technically incorrect on Hamilton. He was ranked #1 by Street and Smith before his SR year (the magazine came out early Summer). After his Senior season, he had faded back to the 15-20 range. Wasn't even the highest-rated player in Illinois - that was Ed Horton. And of course Ben Wilson would have ranked above him had he not been shot.

Awfully picky I'd say. S&S also ranked Bruce Douglas in their top 5. Let's put it this way: At the start of the season during his senior year in h.s. Hamilton was ranked #1 in the nation. Liberty was also ranked #1 in Parade Magazine. Dennis Scott was #2.

It's not really that picky re Hamilton. But the start of his senior season, Ben Wilson, among others had passed him. Hamilton started fading after the camps between Jr and Sr year and ended up in the 15-20 range.

You're certainly correct on Liberty.

I can sort of tell he’s lost some of that explosiveness from that dunk, hopefully fletch can get him right

That was just a workout. He wasn't trying to destroy the basket. IMO, he will be a fine college player if he is healthy. The ACL thing perhaps keeps him in college for one more year.
