The UDP comments are generally on-the-mark.
I'm reminded of a couple or three things:
1. Hinson needs to go. He needed to go 2-3 years ago. Perhaps he never should have been hired. BUT...he has not had a stable administration to work with. No excuse. Just the facts. Still no excuse. He needs to go.
2. Jordan Caroline is averaging 18.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game--I watched a bit of last night's Nevada-UNLV game. Caroline can really play--his transfer was a huge loss for Hinson's program.
3. Deion Lavender is playing important minutes for Valparaiso...his leaving, too, was a blow to Hinson's program.
...Ja Morant is viewed as perhaps the second pick in the next NBA draft. What a player! Why do I have the feeling that...if Hinson had been fortunate enough to lure him to SIU...that Morant wouldn't shine the way he does at Murray...because of Hinson's oh-so-deliberate offense. Frustratingly, Hinson would not agree with this assessment. In my view, he is wrong.
5. I predict that Hinson will not go quietly into the night.
I believe the little huckster will go out kicking and screaming. None of this is his fault and SIU and their fan base should feel fortunate that we play D1 basketball.....end of expectations. There will be plenty of parting shots.....
Yup, count on it.
