I think he's already down to 3 schools. Illinois, Seton Hall and a school out west.

So even though we offered, we aren't in it?
I'm not in a position to say that definitively. This is not a recruitment that I have paid much attention to despite Blake being from Central Florida. All I know is 2 days ago I read an article on the Illinois site where Hinson discussed his reasons for rhe classifying and was quoted as saying this:

"My top three schools right now Seton Hall, Washington State, and Illinois,” Hinson said. “I'm trying to get my visits lined up.”

Np. His top 3 might not mean much because he did say "right now" and because schools are still offering him.

I think he's going to play for the same travel team Corey played for. Last year I think he bounced around to three different AAU teams: Nike South Beach, Florida Sons in April then Showtime Ballers in the summer.

Might that be because he has more to sell ?
USF had plenty to sell to lower tier players. Antigua was losing Tampa Bay Area kids, who could have helped him win, to schools like James Madison, Bowling Green & Duquesne because of lack of recruiting effort.

Valdir Manuel committed to SHU.
Yes, that was it. Manuel fills the back up PF/C this year so backing off Blake Hinson. Not sure we were ever a favorite of his anyway. No scholarships left either unless someone leaves.
