Hamilton comes in with 17 total prospects with a dominant senior class with 12 prospects in that 2023 class. The class splits are 12-3-2 regarding the Hamilton ’23, ’24, and ’25 classes with a big opportunity for those seniors to take control here in 2022. Although they have less ranked underclassmen as the rest, don’t be suprised if you see some young unknown guys on Hamilton step up, as coach Zdebski does a phenomenal job grooming those young prospects. Definitely an exciting team to watch.
