Basketbill Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Great I had forgotten that we had one open this fall. What a great way to start the trip and the year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Congrats to AH. I was impressed, especially with his tenacity on defense, at the open practices. I wonder if this means that JC is finished with 2016 recruiting or if this is clearly for one year only. Hopefully AH becomes another John Redden.

DoctorB Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 this is great, and the video was awesome, thanks. AH looked impressive in the open practices, among other things he is great with the ball and does not turn it over (!!!). I believe this is a one year deal, but you never know!

cheeseman Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If this is more than a one year deal then we are in worse shape recruiting then I ever thought. I have no problem letting him use the schollie this year since it is open but I want to fill this schollie for the following year with a good recruit.

kmbilliken Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We have an open scholarship for this year. This is probably a reward for his contributions as a walk on. We've done this in the past when we had an open scholarship. I doubt it is a promise of a scholarship beyond this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'd guess this is a one year deal unless he becomes a major contributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromDaEastSide Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'm sure this is a Daniel Lisch type of deal for one year since we had an open scholarship. BTW, after watching the practices last week he deserves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'm sure this is a Daniel Lisch type of deal for one year since we had an open scholarship. BTW, after watching the practices last week he deserves it. I would agree, I was watching practice in general focusing on Welmer and Neufeld, and when ever I saw a smaller guard shoot, or make a good play, I kept hoping it was bishop, but it would be Hines. He had one drive where he rose and hung in the air just missed the shot, but he can elevate.... He may well have played his way into the scholarship. Crews comments on the video seem to imply he has been teaching and passing on info, I presume to Bishop. That kind of teammate is priceless....

cheeseman Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Tony LaRusa always said do not fall in love with a player in spring training. The reason he said this is that a player can look like a stud and then fizzle during the year. I would be careful about falling in love with Hines from the 3 open practices. I would expect him to better than Bishop given how Bishop is clueless to what is going on at this point. Let him gain the benefit from this year but it should not grow into a multiple year schollie - we need players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARon Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Every player is a one year deal. This is the way things are in the NCAA. You don't offer kids 4-yr schollies. To put it in pro parlance, kids are offered 1 year deals with 3-year mutual options. The only difference being that Aaron had probably been told he likely won't have a schollies next year, where anyone else wouldn't find out until next spring.

I also was responding to those who seem to be getting a bit enamored with him from the 3 open practices results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, the coaches are getting enamored with Hines as well as he started tonight and played 32 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Currency converter shows 100 Bahamian dollars equal to 99.86 US dollars so it is almost exactly one-to-one. If this is a video from Nassau, there you go. I assume everything has to be imported in such a case. This seems to be the case worldwide in my experience ---- Hawaii was high too when I was there. A non-meat pasta dish in Zurich cost almost $75 US dollars against the Swiss Franc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
