Former NC State senior recruiting target Jarius Hamilton of Concord (N.C.) Cannon School picked Boston College over Maryland, Mississippi State and perhaps Villanova. Hamilton was offered by the old and new staffs at NC State, but was hard to get reciprocal interest. The staff loved him as a small ball power forward, but he always saw himself as a wing (he'll be guarding power forwards at BC I bet). There was talk at one point that Hamilton's older brother at Georgia Southern could end up as a graduate transfer at Boston College, but that remains to be seen.
Hamilton is the fourth North Carolina native that Boston College has signed in recent years joining Garner's Jerome Robinson, Havelock's Ky Bowman and Greensboro's Ty Graves, who quickly transferred to Saint Louis.
Rivals.com ranks Hamilton at No. 81 and he's the rare player to go from overrated to now underrated. When he was looking at Kansas, UNC, Duke, Louisville, etc., he was under the microscope and fell. He played pretty well at the John Wall Holiday Invitational after Christmas in Raleigh.
