In major breaking news Antonio Hamlin has announced his
transfer to Combine Academy in Lincolnton, NC, leaving Mt. Saint Joseph in
Baltimore, Md.
At Combine Academy Hamlin will be able to look forward to a
tailored made recruiting plan and an opportunity to develop and play his
natural position at the lead guard; something MSJ was either unwilling or unable
to do. Ultimately it cost MSJ one of the
top area prospects, but kudos to the individual(s) brain trust who put the
players future ahead wins for program.
Combine Academy is a player-first program that works every
day to ensure that their players are making progress toward their goals. He will play a national schedule and close to
40+ games while working on his skill set under the guidance of Ex-NC Tar Heels
Jeff McGinnis.
Hamlin is
blessed with great athletic ability. He is explosive and uses this athleticism
to place his stamp on games. He is a tremendous leaper who right now is more of
a scorer than shooter, with the ability to erupt for impressive offensive
outburst at any given moment.
He has the
ball-handling skills and quickness that allow him to get to the rim, blowing
right by defenders. He will stick the open jumper if defenders do not play him
honest. At this juncture, he is more of a two-guard than a point guard.
However, this will not remain the same as he is taught by one of the best
guards to come out of the state of NC.
Antonio really
excels on the defensive end, using his quickness to cause fits for opposing
guards. He plays all out, exhibiting great intensity, hustle, and desire. His
competitive nature truly sets him apart from many players.
