Reading a little more about Hamlett, is his path: JUCO (Motlow State) --> Buffalo --> JUCO (Northwest Florida State) --> TBD?
Not sure if I have seen someone start at a JUCO, go D1, then back to a JUCO. What would his classification be?
He never played at Buffalo. Transferred after 1 year of JUCO to Buffalo, which wasn't a good fit. So rather than sit out he went to a top JUCO to keep playing, and it's not like Motlow would have held a spot for him (similar to Maurice Kirby going from VT to Coffeyville for a year). He'd be a redshirt junior in terms of classification. In my opinion he's the most complete point guard we have offered, Pipkins strikes me as more of a combo type. Not that we couldn't use both! I'd probably agree that if we haven't gotten a commitment by now it might not happen though, which isn't the end of the world.
Some kids just take time to find their fit. It's easy to forget Milton Doyle committed to FIU before a coaching change, then spent a summer in Kansas, before settling in at LUC for 5 years.
