Just because he hasn't lived up to his ranking sure doesn't mean he can't help our team. His attitude right off the bat didn't work but it seemed like he was doing well in the offseason. His body composition changed and he looked like had put in the work. I really thought he would be heavy in the rotation by now. I'm surprised he has played so little. Back to the original question I don't think anything has been said about him not being on the team

Lol...whatever you wanna believe about me is fine my friend...doesnt bother me any
And when I mean bash players... I mean calling them names. Talk about their play all you want or the things they do off the field, but when posters act like they are 10 years old its ridiculous... remember recruits parents are on this board

Lighten up a little bit. I don't disagree with you. There's way too much player and recruit bashing on this board for my taste too.

Criticism is fair when it fits. Jelani has not emerged as the player we'd hoped to this point, but I don't think he's done at UM. Picking on him about his diet should be half hearted at best because he's one of us and most likely he wasn't the only member of the team that's eaten crap he shouldn't be eating. He just put his business out on twitter where Canes picked up on it.

he was a project in the sense that he played his senior season with a knee injury that got more serious as he got to UM

He was not a project... he torn his ACL his senior year and never really looked the same.
Mike's Take: UM DL commit
What to Like: There's a lot to like about Jelani Hamilton. He's been a starter at St. Thomas for the past few seasons and everyone has been waiting for him to become a senior to see how heavily he'd be recruited. At 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, he has long arms and he moves very well. He can run, change directions, and do all the athletic things most kids at that level can't do. He understands the game very well, is coached up very well, and brings a lot of upside to the position because of his size/athletic combo. He has the frame to add even more weight while maintaining the athleticism. He can rush the passer extremely well but is also disciplined enough to be a complete player. He's the the type of kid who will be able to step on the field early in his college career and make an impact. It's also a big get for new coach Al Golden, as St. Thomas Aquinas is one of the nation's top prep programs and in his first year he's getting their top prospect.
What may concern you: Not a whole lot. If there's one, it could be the lack of pass rushing numbers. He finished 2010 with only four quarterback sacks, while his athletic ability screams mismatch against opposing tackles most of the time. There aren't a whole lot of holes in his game and it's hard to find things you don't like in him as a prospect.
Bottom Line: This is a huge get for Golden and his staff. He was being recruited like a five-star prospect. Florida wanted him badly and so did Florida State. He's one of the state's premier prospects at a premier school and at a position where it's difficult to find quality prospects. The Canes got the state's best defensive end prospect in 2011 (Anthony Chickillo) and now they're going to do the same in 2010 with Hamilton. He becomes Miami's fourth defensive end commitment. He and Trent Taylor were being more heavily recruited at the time of their commitments compared to Jake O'Donnell and Dwayne Hoilett. The Canes could now be done at the D-End spot.

MIAMI HERALD SPOTLIGHT: Jelani Hamilton
By Larry Blustein, Miami Herald
Player: Jelani Hamilton
YEAR: 2012
SCHOOL: St. Thomas Aquinas
CITY: Fort Lauderdale
POSITION: DL
HEIGHT: 6-4.5
WEIGHT: 240
HEAD FOOTBALL COACH: Rocco Casullo
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Having many opportunities to watch this impressive football talent -on and off the football field - his future is indeed extremely bright.
A very smart football player who is still growing into his frame. His instincts, quickness and ability to make plays comes from the fact that he picks things up quickly.
Has the potential to become one of the best players in the Class of 2012. Not only because he is physical and has worked harder to become the best player possible, but his attitude is all about achieving.
With the support of his family, Hamilton went out for the wrestling team this winter as well, showing tremendous balance, strength and a thirst of learning the sport. He was giving away 30 plus pounds in nearly every match.
This is the type of kid everyone wants to succeed. He is the ultimate team player!
UM commit Hamilton out for season
By Dallas Jackson, Rivals High
October 13, 2011
Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas suffered its first defeat on the playing field last weekend against Miramar (Fla.) High. It has suffered two more since.
According to local media reports, Aquinas star defensive lineman Bryan Cox Jr., is out for the next six weeks while fellow lineman Jelani Hamilton is lost for the season.
Hamilton, a four-star recruit ranked No. 7 at the position and No. 88 overall, hurt his knee against Miramar. The extent of the injury was uncertain at the time but has since been revealed as a slight ACL tear that will need surgery to repair.
"We're looking to the future," Casullo told the paper. "It was a collective decision with him and the doctors. He's in a good situation where he can recover and be healthy in the future."
Hamilton has given a verbal commitment to the University of Miami but is considered a soft commit.
A school like Aquinas always seems to have another player in the pipeline. In this case it's Anthony Moten.
Moten, a 6-3, 235-pound sophomore who already was seeing significant time, figures to see a lot more. Completely replacing Cox and Hamilton, however, may be impossible.
"They have to hope Moten is the player everyone thinks he can be," Nee said. "Losing all those guys could prove impossible to replace even with the talent at that school."
LOL but this board is making stuff up about why he didn't do well here. Wow our fans turn on a kid fast.

Y'all sleep, Jelani still is getting healthy IMO. He has all of the tools he just have to become more consistent.

What made him a project was NO-ONE knew how he would respond to knee surgery...for that matter no-one knows how any athlete will respond to major knee surgery. Ask Jimbo Fisher if he is happy Jelani snubbed FSU for Miami? Pictures and quotes from so-called experts are cute and all, but look at his body of work since he has been here and ask yourself if he made it ok?
