Blake Hinson Committed To ISU!

[CycloneVet]

We got older
We got more talented
We got tougher

Get two waivers and it's an A++ spring

And we got weirder please don’t forget that

If we get both Harris and Hinson this season, we’ll make the tourney IMO.

If we don’t get either of them, we’ll struggle, but the following year will be very good.

We don’t even know if there will be a season this year at all?

 

[CoKane]

This seems good. Just gotta hope that he and Harris can play this season

 

[Statefan10]

Agreed and I really wanted Smith too

Smith is more athletic, but Hinson can do a lot more offensively. I'm excited about him. I think he's going to be very very good us.

There will be a season this year. Just like football, fan attendance will be up in the air though.

Anyone know how Hinson is defensively?

Ole Miss in general was pretty good, but they play a lot of different man and zone looks. There coach knows how to coach defense, so hopefully he comes in at the very minimum fundamentally sound.

 

[Triggermv]

Thought I'd drop this in this thread as well.

As well as some of his stats below from his past two years at Ole Miss. I actually remember this guy two years ago when we played the Rebels. He went 3-8 from beyond the arc.

Kind of cool we got this guy for two years. (hopefully)

After watching those highlights, he reminds me a bunch of Shayok. Shayok may have a more consistent jump shot, but otherwise, they look very similar. Love this add and probably exactly what they need.

 

[NDMARTIN2015]

He will be great in the big 12. He had 13 pts, 5 rebounds, 1 steal as a freshman against ISU in 2018.

 

[Halincandenza]

Well that was certainly out of nowhere! Solid pickup. If him and Harris are both eligible, probably won't see much time from Freshman.

Where do these transfer now put ISU to Finish in the Big12?
Pre-transfers: 9-10
Get one of Harris/Hinson: 8ish
Get Both Harris/Hinson: 5-6?

Yes it is exactly what we needed. And yeah I think Shayok is a good comparison, however someone mentioned Nader and I like that one too. He's sort of in the middle. A meatier Shayok.

 

[MeanDean]

Let's get weird. Bunch of switchable pieces that all should be plus athletes.

Prohm may have just constructed mad Fran's dream roster of athletic spiders up and down the lineup.

I also kind of smiled a little inside when I saw he had his best offensive game and went off for big numbers against their instate rival.

That sounds reasonable to me. Maybe the “best case” if we get both waivers.

If we would end up getting everyone eligible, I'd take 5th place in the Big 12 every day and twice on Sunday. We'd be dancing, AND we'd literally bring everyone back besides Solomon and JCL for the next year.

 

[cyfan92]

We’d still take a stud PG if we had the chance, right?

Forever, always and yes to good PG's

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

Doesn’t seem like that’s his identity, nor does it seem like he’s a liability.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

The guy is practically another Michael Jordan. I see Big 12 Newcomer of the Year!!

Beat iowa.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised

Pretty close to what I'd guess.

Just JCL available: 7-10
One of Harris/Hinson: 5-9
Get both: 4-7

KU, Baylor and Texas are top 3 almost guaranteed. WV and Tech are also going to be really good.

In the end, I think you can be excited either way on the waivers. Because, if they aren't granted. The 2021-22 roster will be really strong. Especially considering they have another scholarship
