I will respectfully disagree with the Jacobson comparison. Mike was more like a 5 trapped in a 4's body. Hinson is more like a 3 trapped in a 4's body. Sort of like an Abdel Nader.
Just wait until we overachieve to begin the year, are in the hunt in February, but drop a few games and end up getting 5th in the conference. I'm sure those hating on CSP will come out in full force.
Yeah it was honestly just a joke lol.The talent level is considerably better and we should be able to compete for a NCAA Tournament berth if Harris and Hinson both get waivers. That being said, I don’t think this roster is a sure-fire NCAA Tournament squad. CSP has done a great job to get a roster that can compete for the tournament but the expectation is still to get to the tournament 3 or 4 out of every 5 years.

Anyone else see the resemblance between JCL and Hinson? They honestly look like twins / brothers.
I will say, about a week ago Chris mentioned that there MAY be, an outside chance at some good news that he couldn't talk about officially at that point but there was reason for optimism.Nope. Not a peep.
He wore a tshirt during games often.Is it the lighting or does Talen have a farmer's tan? Really weird considering he lived in Ames and this game was in January.
It sure looks like that!Is it the lighting or does Talen have a farmer's tan? Really weird considering he lived in Ames and this game was in January.
Maui in November probably did thatIs it the lighting or does Talen have a farmer's tan? Really weird considering he lived in Ames and this game was in January.
Their pull up J’s look similar in form.

Blake is starting to lay the groundwork for the waiver...

"The 6-foot-7 junior forward plans to apply for a waiver to gain immediate eligibility. In a phone interview with The News-Journal, Hinson said there were factors beyond basketball that influenced his decision to leave.
“To make a general statement, it was time to go and leave Ole Miss,” Hinson said. “I’m proud not to represent that flag anymore and to not be associated with anything representing the Confederacy.”
That flag refers to the state flag of Mississippi, which includes the Confederate emblem. Earlier this week, Southeastern Conference (SEC) Commissioner Greg Sankey said that, until the emblem is removed, the conference could preclude holding championship events in Mississippi.
Asked if he personally had experienced any sort of racial abuse or injustice during his two years in Oxford, Hinson said: “Not that I can remember.”
Don't see to many of the CSP haters commenting here, has to be a big blow to their self esteem.
Yeah Mike was an okay rebounder, however his box outs were not the best. It wasn't that he didn't do them, it's that his quickness and ability to get to point A to point B were not the greatest. As you said above, Hinson should fit perfectly into the 4 position that Prohm loves, which is the mismatch guy on offense that can guard 1-5 on the defensive end.Yeah, not really trying to compare like that. I meant that Jacobson wasn't close to a stretch 4. Not mobile enough, not a good enough shot. Hinson is a lot closer to what we need there. Better shot, better defensively on the perimeter, probably not as good of a rebounder.
If we had anyone who could play the 4 halfway good last season, Jacobson would have played a lot more 5. They REALLY needed Griffin to step up his play and he didn't.
My first thought was "Terrence if he had panned out"Honestly he looks like what we wanted Zion to turn into...

Yeah, you would think if the coach does well on the recruiting trail, true Cyclone fans would at least be happy about it. With the highly recruited high school class and three high quality transfers, this has to be Prohm's best class. If a quality PG happens to be available, I expect they would take him considering the uncertainty surrounding a waiver for Harris.
