Hinton on his commitment to Harvard

“I chose Harvard because I felt like it was the perfect place for me,” Hinton said to On3. “The coaching staff, the players, and the culture at Harvard were all amazing. I instantly felt that Harvard was the place for me. Harvard has the best of both worlds. I will be able to play high-level ball and get a chance to go to the big dance every year. I will also be able to graduate college with one of the most prestigious degrees in the world.”

What type of player is Harvard getting in Robert Hinton?

Coach (Tommy) Amaker and the Harvard coaching staff believe in me and believe they can take me to the next level, and I am ready for that.”

Hinton has a message for Harvard fans.
