Hick to Cincinnati, as I assumed.

Feel bad for Hick. You would think Drew would be decent enough to tell him how many studs are in front of him in the rotation. Why leave to get 10 minutes a game? Cincy’s guards torched him and BU in the NIT game. They’re on a different level and they’re all still there. Maybe I’m missing something.

Only guy that showed up to play that day was Malevy. Everyone else looked like they didn't even want to be there.

I wonder if Indiana didn't offer him. I mean, what kid grows up in Bloomington dreaming of someday playing in Cincinnati?

Obviously Indiana did not offer him a good deal, appears he is willing to play for CINCY and does not care about starting his last season. This is looking more like he was not happy here last season for whatever reason. I do know Adams recruited him to Bradley . Very puzzling decision.

I think the Washington St kid committing to IU threw a huge wrench in the whole thing for Hickman. Seems like Cincy was the fall back plan. Looks like the guy in the trenchcoat got him at halftime after all.

I believe DC said that this was not the case. Moreso Hick wanted to go the Maniscalco route and compete at a P5 level. With Adams there, I always assumed he would go there. I agree however that he's going to have to fight for playing time.

You are right. He was not unhappy with Bradley and had no issues with the coaches. And he was fiends with the other players and was well liked. Indiana was never his top choice. Nor was the fact his girlfriend is a student at IU a factor. He did not like Mike Woodson's offense. One of his best friends, Anthony Leal, will be in his final season there next year, and that might have been a reason he visited, but it apparently didn't change his mind.

So was this his ultimate goal? Or did he settle? I wonder if he jumped in expecting something else.

[Landof10thcoaches]

You transfer to a school that you won’t start is puzzling to everyone. You leave a team that’s on the verge of the NCAA tournament bid. Hopefully he gets what he wants and it wasn’t a fall back plan. Grass may look greener but doesn’t always make you happier.

[BU freak]

Wish nothing but the best for Hickman. Let’s hope he plays well at Cincinnati. Gets a NIL bump for sure. No ill will at all

Da Coach said why he picked Cincinnati. As he said Indiana was never seriously considered.
