The number ten prospect on the list has yet to play a game this year. Tremendous...
Could someone please send BR this picture of Hines and his mother. Refreshing after seeing No. 7 and his devil t-shirt and ball cap splashed around the media for the past two months.
@jonvito - #8 hasn't played yet either.
