Vingle spoke with former Herd guard A.W. Hamilton, who is coaching Bennett and Robinette at Hargrave.
Hamilton had nice things to say about both players:
“Iran has a chance to be an NBA player,” said the coach. “There aren’t many guys like him in the country. He’s 6-9 ½ and 320 pounds. He has the best hands of a big man I’ve ever seen. He’s a great athlete who can move his feet. He’s a monster. He’s terrific and is getting better every day. That’s a wonderful, wonderful ‘get’ for Marshall. He could go down as one of the school’s all-time greats.”
“He’s (Tanner) spent a lot of time working with [Golden State Warrior] David West on an AAU program he played with. He’s been well-coached. I think he’ll be a guy in Conference USA and at Marshall that people will be excited about. He’s tough; he’s nasty; he boxes out and plays hard. Unbelievable kid. Marshall fans will really like Tanner Robinette.”
