Jacksonville College (Jacksonville, TX) sophomore Johnny Hamilton has signed a letter of intent with Virginia Tech, Jaguars head coach Jody Bailey said this evening.
Hamilton, a 7’0″ center, made an official visit to Virginia Tech this past weekend. He also had interest/offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Cincinnati, Houston, Minnesota, Oklahoma State, SMU, Tennessee, Tulsa, Washington State and Wichita State.
Hamilton plans to enroll at Virginia Tech this summer along with high school recruits Kerry Blackshear, Chris Clarke and Justin Robinson.
Love the height, obviously, looks like he can defend well, block party y’all!!
When was the last time we had 2 seven-footers on the team, never? (or even one, Earnest Wansley was 6’11”) Back in the 70s that seemed to be a bigger deal than now, thinking of guys like Artis Gilmore, but I still get an old school kind of thrill out of it.
PS Same “Jacksonville” AG was from?
last year before JvZ was booted
6’10” mebbe?
NO , AG WAS FROM JVILLE FL
Looks great.
Love it. With this class we add a 6’6″, a 6’8″, and a 7’0″ player. That should help our vertically challenged issues of the previous season.
yes
Buzz and his staff are the coaches that will get the job done. Great job and keep your eye on this bb program! Ah what a relief it is!!!!
Aw right! Go, Buzz!
