Comes off the bench in the games I’ve seen. Maybe started one of them. He is a good passer but not a scorer.
Some of the stuff I read about him on the board last night was koolaid stuff. I thought he was MVC bound before Missouri jumped in.
Here is what Joe Henriksen said about him (ranks him as 11th best player in Illinois): “About as smooth as they come with the ball in his hands. An elite passer with an uncanny ability to find teammates other guards never find.if you have talented pieces around Pinson, he’s going to thrive because he loves to get others involved. The body is thin and lacks strength while the perimeter jumper is a work in progress, but he really knows how to play and impact a game on the offensive end. An eye-opening July has made Pinson a coveted mid-major prospect. He sports offers from Toledo, Kent State, Buffalo, IPFW, George Mason, Indiana State, Hofstra, Cleveland State, Drake, UW-Milwaukee,, SIUE, and Western Illinois.”
No doubt he can be a piece, but he is not a top recruit, IMO. He’s the kind of recruit that got Groce fired. Reminds me of Jaylon Tate.
By the way, Iowa State pulled the 2, 3, 4 players out of Illinois. Tucker (Simeon), Griffin and Conditt.
