Pinson is an interesting kid. He had only offers from lower lever D1 schools, then he commits to Kent St, then decommits 6 days later, then Georgetown and Dayton offered. He has good size and hops.

I watched Pinson's you tube videos and I really like this kid! Tremendous passer who likes to get his teammates involved! In an interview, he said from the time he was 4'10" in the seventh grade he has had to prove himself and now that he has grown to 6'2" or 6'3" he still has to earn respect but now he gets satisfaction by dunking on guys! He said his goal is to go pro someday so he can help his family. He gets up early in the morning and practices before school and stays after practice to work on his game and watch film.
One thing I did notice, however is that he steps into his outside shot (3 pointers) like Jalen Crutcher. His release is essentially the same. The way Jalen has been playing the past few games carefully picking and choosing when to shoot the 3 ball it may be a moot point!
Maybe Kendall Pollard can help the Flyers recruit this kid!
