'17 JC DE Shamar Hamilton (Signed to COLORADO)
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
Today's the first day he can sign, not the last. Also, might hinge on him finishing the semester and getting his grades into CU and have everything certified. So could be longer (speculating).
Looking good for him to sign. No indication otherwise.

When is the deadline for signing anyway with jucos?
There's not one. He could sign in August and still play this fall.

Would not shock me if Hamilton and Carson Wells don't end up coming and I'm alright with that.
Hamilton- the second tier of our OLB depth proved serviceable this yr. Much rather give it to a baller prospect who can fill the pipeline for the future.
Wells- I like the frame and the way he plays but not any more than Van Beast or Landman.
Wouldn't mind swapping Newman for ISM. Wouldn't hate it if Purcell doesn't fit what Adams wants and we help him find a home.
Seems like we have interest for these ships that would help our program more in the future.

Wells is going to end up a lot bigger than Van Deist. He's 6'4" 235 and 16 years old. Probably faster than both that you mentioned.

Wells is the classic under the radar diamond in the rough. He has amazing speed for his size and, because of his situation, he has huge upside. Also a good brain. He is a must keep. Hamilton is a must keep too, because he instantly starts to learn the spot when Gilbert leaves and hopefully they would overlap in the spring some. It has to be attractive to play OLB in our D because you get a chance to produce so many sacks.
6'4 is definitely a stretch, he is barely taller than leavitt.
I believe CU measured him at over 6'3" at the camp. He turns 17 on signing day. Kid is seriously under the radar and would not be surprised to see him as one of the commits that Leavitt tries to poach.
He said on his visit he was 6'2 lol and I don't see why he would lie and tell people he is shorter than he really is.
OK. Missed that. Rivals lists him at 6'4".
But at 16, I think he may still grow more. I'm pretty sure he's bigger than Van Diest by some margin.
Yes van diest is 6'0 and wells beat him in a foot race at the football camp but van diest is the man on the football field. Really strong, quick and has a great motor. It's why he has those power five offers.
I just would slow the roll on judging a kid because of his offer sheet or lack thereof, when the coaches have worked with him. Throw in the fact that he's a full year younger than his grade-level and I'm pretty optimistic for him. Like Van Diest as well, just think they will be different types of players.

Other than it making perfect sense, I guess ill explain it. I think they will be a more solid team across the board at more positions but younger. The PAC-12 should be stronger, so I believe they will be more talented but have a hard time getting to 10 wins, 7-8 is my guess.
