So with all transfers being immediately eligible, is there any chance he could play at some point this year?
I am pretty certain he is still out with a medical condition.

we can put to bed the "maybe he'll play this year" talk
He would help. We were absolutely in the TX and WV games with minutes to play.Not that he needs my approval, but I'm fine with him doing whatever it takes to be healthy and ready to go next year. He would certainly help this year, but there's such a significant gap between us and the top of the conference right now. I'm all for letting some of the younger guys get some reps and seeing what we can put on the floor in Hilton next year when the fans can see it in person.

Yea, Prohm's explanation seemed vague on why Hinson couldn't practice with team. A simple reason might be Covid protocols. Since he is returning to Ames from out-of-state, maybe their is a quarantine period.What's the reason again he can't practice with team, etc., like transfers who sit out a year? I realize he's out the year, but confused as to why he can't be coached or practice with team, when/ if ready.
[[*** Ole Miss transfer Blake Hinson is back on campus, Prohm said. The 6-7 guard/forward average 10.1 points and 4.6 rebounds last season. He went home in September to deal with an undisclosed medical condition.![]()
Cyclones seek to fix "Achilles' heel" in advance of Saturday's matchup with No. 18 Texas Tech
Jan. 2: Iowa State guard Rasir Bolton is hit by Baylor's Jared Butler. © Bryon Houlgrave via Imagn Content Services, LLC Iowa State men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm said he and his coaches crafted a list of “about 10 things” his team needs to do in order to have a chance to beat No. 18 Texas Tcyclonefanatic.com
“Great to have him back around the guys. I think it’s good for us. I think it’s good for him,” Prohm said. “Still getting to know him. We haven’t spent a ton of time around him hanging out and different things, and that’s a lot to do with the pandemic. But it’s great to have him back. Basketball-wise, we’re not allowed to do anything with him right now. He can shoot on his own, which he’s been doing, and he can do his strength workouts with our strength coach, but basketball and contact stuff, nothing right now. Just individual shooting on his own. (It) will probably be like that for a while.”]]
I realize the original press release said he was out for the season. But with this season not counting against a player's 4 years of playing eligibility, wonder if there is a chance he would play even a handful of games.
In Travis' tweet. Prohm is quoted saying Hinson is not ready to practice with team. But my interpretation of the last sentence is Travis just reiterating Hinson's original status from Sept. I could be wrong & it was Prohm saying earlier this week that Hinson won't play.Post 83.

If he doesn't play this year, status quo. But if his medical condition is treated, if Hinson could play a few games it would give staff some perspective on rotation next year. Mainly, what does playing combination of Johnson at SF, Hinson at PF and Foster (if he's healthy) at C.
Just want to repost this after he missed the entire season. Really hope Otz keeps Blake in Ames. He's a good shooter and look at how aggressive he is taking the ball to the rim!! That size will be a welcome sight on the court in 2021/22

Is it just me or does his play remind you some of THT?

If he fits the program I hope he comes back. If he doesn't then I hope he leaves. Steve was in desperation mode when he signed a bunch of these guys. That's not a recipe for success.
