a seasoned 6-8 forward who brings size, rebounding, and interior toughness to Purdue Fort Wayne
Mario Hines gives Purdue Fort Wayne a physical, experienced frontcourt presence: in his college career, he was listed at 6-8 and 200-205 pounds, and at Trinity Valley C.C. he averaged 11.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game before joining the Mastodons. His differentiator is the hard-nosed, blue-collar stuff—rim protection, rebounding, and veteran grit—rather than flashy scoring. If a team wants a forward who can battle inside, defend the paint, and bring steady effort, Hines fits the bill.
