Wake Forest Point Guard Transfers to Marshall
1/17/2002
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Marshall University men's basketball coach Greg White announced today that A.W. Hamilton, a sophomore point guard from Wake Forest University, has transfered to Marshall and is now enrolled in classes.
Hamilton, a Georgetown, Ky., native, saw limited action in four games this season for the Demon Deacons. The six-foot-three, 185-pounder connected on four of six shots from the floor and recorded five assists in 30 minutes of action. The Scott County High School graduate attended Hargrave Academy where he played with Marshall's David Anderson and for current Thundering Herd assistant coach Kevin Keatts.
"He is the best pure point guard I had in my four years at Hargrave," Keatts said. "He was like another coach on the floor. He always made sure the ball got to the right place and I expect him to bring us a great deal of leadership at the point guard spot."
Hamilton will sit out the mandatory one year and should become eligible next December, following the conclusion of the 2002 Fall semester. He will have two and a half years of eligibility remaining.
