Don't be fooled. His mom is still setting up and having contact with coaches. It's far from against her wishes...

 

Uh oh. Is she a "Butch McRae" mom?

I don't think so. She's just staying in contact mostly off the record...

It would be foolish to disagree...

That house she got on Blue Chips was "off the record" too right?

 

Maybe she wants a tractor? :lol:

Still way off base. I don't get the sense of "Blue Chips" type recruiting here. She is being smart about the process and doing it mostly out of the public eye. A lot of parents are quick with a quote, and she isn't in that group...

I just always have questions when a mother is mentioned so often in the recruitment of her kid. Whether she makes statements or not, it seems like she is a focal point of what is going on.

 

Recruiting gurus for Scout and Rivals are not going to get the best info on this recruitment because the family is tight-lipped and not actually divulging all information.

But you know something everyone else doesn't?

Scotty and his mom have always been very close and both have the same goals for Scotty. I have never got the impression that she was a crazy "prophet" mom or anything, I think it's more that she wants him to keep his eyes on his future prize. He has an incredible athletic gift from God and she does not want him to waste it. She does not want him to end up like other talented young black men from Hopkinsville, who for various reasons never played after high school. I don't know her personally, but she seems like an awesome mom from what I've observed.

It's a good way to take it off the kid's shoulders, and, I dunno, give him the best shot at a normal senior year. Kid isn't hounded 24/7, he isn't hearing promises from coaches, and he can concentrate on his play.

 

I'd do it.

As long as we dont run into another "prophet mom" I am all for it.

Scotty Hopson is going to Tennessee. My kid brother's girlfriend's cousin said he saw it on myspace. Maybe he's just going on vacation though, who knows.

He's going to Campbellsville University :sssh:

 

Wow. Wishful thinking is an understatement.
