According to multiple sources, Iowa State picked up a transfer commitment from 6-foot-7 Blake Hinson from Mississippi on Wednesday.

Hinson started 27 games last year as a sophomore and averaging 10.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 39.6 percent from the field and 31.9 percent from 3-point range.

Hinson joins Memphis’ Tyler Harris and DePaul’s Jalen Coleman-Lands as transfer commitments to the Cyclones. Hinson will have to sit out the upcoming season unless he is granted a waiver by the NCAA.

Iowa State posted a record of 12-20 last season.

The Cyclones have four freshmen coming in this fall also, including Oskaloosa’s Xavier Foster.

Evan Daniels of 247Sports was the first to report on Hinson’s commitment.
