Connecticut's Najai Hines: Loses 10 pounds

Rotowire ·

Hines has lost 10 pounds since his 2025-26 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Analysis:

For most of the NCAA's 2025-26 season, Hines weighed 278 pounds, much more than how much an average 6-foot-11 forward weighs. By losing weight, perhaps he can not only improve mobility but also increase playing time. For his career, Hines has less than 20.0 minutes per game, 18.0 exactly. Nonetheless, as part of Seton Hall, he averaged 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 blocks, which earned him recruitment interest from Connecticut.
