I just wasn't a big fan. Kid can be a difference maker if he wants to be. I have never seen any indications that he does. So we move on. Another near miss. We need one low post player for 2012.

In case anybody thinks what I'm saying is sour grapes I posted this a month ago:
Heard the same thing. I hope A.J. is more than size and potential. I understand why UC wants him. There are tools there to like. I just hope the kid is willing to work hard so he can use those tools. IMO, there is much more potential than show to him at this point. Nice kid, he just has the motor of BJ Grove at this point. |

The problem is that there isn't anyone else better than Hammons on the board. This is shaping up to be a very disappointing recruiting class. I thought from the beginning this team needed two bigs in this class with one being a more immediate impact, however, UC may be lucky to get one big that has an impact by their sophomore year.
This recruit had the kiss of death since Ralphy mentioned him last year. the_one added to it as well. |

You are right! I've never seen either right on a recruit! Not being mean I think 32 gets some decent info gathered the projections are just off (is he secretly TC...that's a joke guys). The next time Ralph is right about a recruit will be the first.

Well LH we disagree about them "needing" to have 2 bigs. One that can give minutes will work I think. They need a wing as well. I don't think Hammons would have an immediate impact. He could but that light hasn't come on and your not going to switch it when you step on campus, I.E. Yancy Gates. It is typically a process. He is a big body low post player and that's what they need and his potential is high if he taps it.

I am glad he didnt committ because I didnt want to hear LL tell me how much he hates big slow big men.
Would have been nice to develop but I will take a 6'8 high motor type of guy. |

UC already has 6'8" high motor guys. One wasn't good enough to play last year and may struggle to see the court this year. If all you have is high motor guys then you are screwed once the game becomes a half court game. It's good to have big men with different skill sets.
