Blake Hinson is a 2019 prospect,i believe. It seems like colleges are offering 2019 and 20 20 prospects now. i am not sure what a commit will mean at these early stages.

Sounds just the size of Mike Bush and that worked out pretty well. Tough these days to play two sports tho.

 

[SaveFerris]

Always like basketball player that have played football at a high level. There's just a physicality and toughness they have from football that can translate well to hoops. Hinson seems to have that but just highlights of course.

 

[7ICoug]

Thats a great point about toughness.

 

[Rich Lewis]

I'm just glad they're on the recruiting trail and making offers. Quite a change.

 

[7ICoug]

You're right. Part of what I don't think that they realized is that the tight control of what they were doing or trying to do put a negative view on the program.

Can't win them all but you have to be perceived as being in the marketplace...working.

Big turn around and the fan's like it.
