And they didn't hire him. No high major program is gonna hire him.
They were going to hire him, but Skal didn't ultimately want to go there and so they didn't make his list. I'm telling you now, if Georgetown, Baylor or Tennessee were assured that they would get Skal if they would hire Hamilton at least one of them would.
I do think he ends up at Memphis, and have maintained that belief for a long time, but if one of those schools entertains the idea of hiring Hamilton it could get interesting. What it may come down to is finally doing what Skal wants and not his mentor, I believe Skal would prefer to stay home and not just go wherever will hire Hamilton, which ultimately means he stays in Memphis.
Fleming helping Iowa recruiting
07/15/2014 HawkeyeReport.com
During the July evaluation period, Iowa commit Andrew Fleming has hooked up with a new AAU team that includes a five star prospect. As luck would have it the duo have hit it off on and off the court and big time prospect Skal Labissiere is now talking about wanting to play with Fleming in college.

Possible new development in his recruiting... Dedric Lawson(#7 in the 2016 class) has decided to re-classify for 2015,so that he can play with his brother KJ Lawson (#38 in the 2015 class) at Memphis. It might push Skal to go ahead and sign with Memphis and set up a monster class.
Just like last week, the Vols' head coach hit Memphis hard with an emphasis on getting in front of five-star big man Skal Labissiere.
The No. 4 ranked player in the 2015 class, Labissiere is scheduled to be on campus in two weeks for an official visit. How great of a shot the Vols have to come out on top of what's been an intense recruitment is tough to gauge at this point. Memphis has long been thought to be the team to beat, but that's more speculation than fact.
For the moment, Tennessee looks at least like a dark horse to land him and the staff has done some serious work to stay involved.
Overall, Tyndall and assistant coach Al Pinkins have been putting in the effort to try and project a strong presence in Memphis.
