Hinckson Headed Home
Tilton School post-graduate forward Christian Hinckson was one of the best remaining prospects left on the board before announcing his commitment to Manhattan on Thursday night.
The pledge brings the New York native back home after spending the last year in New Hampshire.
He took to his twitter account to announce the news.

Hinckson visited both Coppin State and Manhattan last week and was initially scheduled to visit UNC Asheville as well. He earned offers from a variety of division I schools over the course of the last year beginning with a strong grassroots season with The Firm and continuing into his year at Tilton.
He was a major contributor for a Rams team that won their most recent NEPSAC Class AA championship as well as a run to the semi-finals of the National Prep Championship.
An extremely long and powerful forward with a tremendous physical profile, Hinckson has the potential to be a major weapon on the defensive end of the floor for Jaspers head coach Steve Masiello.
He is the 6th member of Tilton's 2018 class to receive a full athletic scholarship.
Below are some of his highlights from last year's Adidas Gauntlet.
