That was a forgone conclusion when it said he will miss the entire season, unless the season has now been reduced to 14 days.

I could see someone accounting for covid in that decision though, if it is a condition that puts them in a high risk group if they do get covid.

Hinson missed some games for Ole Miss last season with a blood abnormality. I wonder if it’s the same issue.

I didn't realize he had the blood issue. I was wondering if this was a situation like Duggan's, where they ramped up health screenings and found something bad.

Either way, hope Blake gets well soon.

Just curious. How do you get from “2+2” to “17”?
He’s not on campus. He’s taking online classes while home in Florida. Raises a red flag for me and I’m just calling it like I see it.

Damn a 6'7 235 Pound stretch 4 with an attitude and a scoring touch would be great right now.

Yeah not that I think he’d solve all of our problems but do think he’d make us a whole lot better if we had him. If I recall his videos correctly, he would’ve been a nice defensive/rebounding piece for us.

Of the 4 losses I think the one that would be a win if he was here is WVU. Iowa was throwing them in blindfolded....and the other two losses were a mess where I'm not sure one guy would have been a difference maker. But WVU I am certain with him to help down low would have the best chance of being a win.

The WVU game was really promising for some hope towards progression. I can watch this team play like that and keep it competitive and be satisfied with at least some growth.

Actually i was thinking the SDSU and Kstate games with Hinson and Tre would be W's...Look how ISU lost Kstate game..on the boards and their bigs killed us.
