Connor Hickman - College Basketball News & Rumors

Eligible once again Hickman is eligible to play once again after a motion to stay was granted by a judge, per Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com.

Impact Hickman was deemed ineligible to play on Feb. 12 and sat out Charleston's game that day and the following game against Campbell. However, he's since been reinstated, and is expected to play Thursday night at North Carolina A&T, just one week after he was initially deemed ineligible. That's massive for Charleston, as the starting guard averages 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists this season.

Deemed ineligible to play Hickman has been ruled ineligible to play out the rest of the season, per Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com.

Impact Hickman was initially granted temporary eligibility on Nov. 18, but that appears to have been stripped from him as he's now shut down for the rest of the year. The senior guard, who'd started every game since Nov. 21, was in the midst of a strong season, averaging 11.7 points and 3.6 rebounds. Hickman's collegiate career appears to be over.

Granted eligibility temporarily A Charleston court approved a temporary injunction that will temporarily grant Hickman eligibility until the NCAA makes a final ruling on his pending medical hardship waiver, Scott...

Impact The NCAA is slated to make a ruling on Hickman's waiver request Nov. 25, but in the meantime, he'll be able to suit up for Charleston. Hickman was limited to 13 appearances with Cincinnati last season due to a foot injury that required surgery. Considering he hasn't played in a game since Jan. 7, 2025, Hickman's minutes could be monitored.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ineligible to play Hickman (foot/ineligible) remains out for the time being and will miss more time aside from Friday's game against Liberty, Jeff Goodman of On3.com.

Impact Hickman received a waiver for an additional year of eligibility this offseason, but it seems the NCAA has reversed course and has now deemed him ineligible. It's unclear when he'll be able to return to the court.

No action in opener Hickman (foot) did not see the court in Monday's 79-58 victory over Tusculum.

Impact Hickman received a waiver for an additional year of eligibility this offseason and has chosen to spend it with College of Charleston, but he wasn't part of the 11-man rotation in the season opener. He's still listed on the team roster, so his absence could be attributed to his recovery from February foot surgery. Given he was a double-digit scorer and regular starter at Bradley, and he made the Cincinnati rotation before his season was cut short by injury, he'll presumably have a role for the Cougars once healthy. His next chance to take the court will be Friday at Liberty.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lands with College of Charleston Hickman has committed to joining Charleston for the 2025-26 campaign, Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com reports.

Impact After playing one season with Cincinnati, Hickman will get a fresh start with a new program for what could be his final year. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 4.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 19.8 minutes across 13 games.
