Assuming it’s Hinson, he started 50 games across two seasons at Ole Miss and averaged about 10 ppg. Is he healthy though?
Video (not sure about the competition) shows him to be athletic, catching the all well, good and varied posts moves and finishing with either hand.
3 years of eligibility.
Obviously, WVU thinks they could and have done better.

I more or less give up watching tape when it comes to JUCO guys. Payton looked like a beast to me.
Same reason that everyone who is certain that Pitt missed out big on Philip Alston are probably wrong. It's really hard to know how a kid is going to play at the ACC level from a MAC team, let alone from a division 2 or JUCO school. Odds are he will not be an impact player. He sure could be, but the odds are not great.
Yeah, I didn't think Alston translated to the ACC either. He's like 6'6" and played above the rim at Cal. No way you can pull that off in the ACC. Unless you're DeJuan Blair, Ontario Lett, or Bonzi Colson and just exceptional with your (presumably wide) body, you have have to be able to run, shoot, and defend quick guys at that height.
He is a P6 player. How good of a P6 player, I don't know. But he is at worst, a P6 backup. The very best players on D2 can play at a P6.
I think the projection here is better just because the length is more fitting for a high major 5. Payton played the 5 at his JUCO, too, but it was clear that he never had the length to play there at this level, and they tried to translate his plus athleticism into being a wing. Same for Alston at Cal, tbh. You don’t have that problem with Federiko. He’s a 5 at the JUCO, he’ll be a 5 here, and what looks like the plus athleticism will translate to that spot.
There is no such thing as P6. He may be a high-major basketball player but we will never know because he chose to play at Loyola-Chicago. And the odds are that he will not be that caliber of player.
Yeah, I don't even know what a P6 backup is. Coulibaly was a P6 backup who was also an A10 backup. I'm sure he would do fine at Cal U, though.
