April 1, 200818 yr :sleep::confused::argue: I don't think Hopson could make it with BCG. I saw enough of Hopson at the State Tourny to know. While I might buy that, calling Miller a better scorer is a bit of a stretch IMO. I've never seen Hopson play personally, but I have seen Miller and he isn't what I would call I "scorer". Does he score? Yes. But he's not a pure scorer like Hopson.
April 1, 200818 yr ^ Hopson is a better fit for UT. They play run and gun style. UK made the right move and didn't let Miller get away.

April 1, 200818 yr Praying it is April Fools, but oh well. It would have been nice to have him, BCG could take a player with his upside and do marvels IMO.

Hopson may not turn out to be a great player, but he is one the most highly recruited coming out of Kentucky in a while. Securing Miller was very important, I am not denying that. Hopson was almost as important. I am not blaming BCG (or Hopson). UK was in late in the game and UT offers a lot for Hopson's skill set.
April 1, 200818 yr This won't be another 4 years of should've/would've/could've will it? For Pete's sake, we RECRUITED this guy. I knew it wouldn't stop. We all know what is coming!!!

No, apparently some have no idea of what is coming. The only good thing is I think Scotty will only stay 2 years at the most.
April 1, 200818 yr Kentucky can't get everyone, but this is a big hit. Anyone who watched just a little bit of Kentucky's season knows how badly they need a scorer. Bradley and Crawford are gone. You got PP, but someone has to score, actually someone else has to stay healthy enough to score. Say what you will about Hopson's attitude, but he can flat out score. He will fit that run and gun style at UT perfectly.
April 1, 200818 yr I was talking about how we keep missing the "studs" from our own neighborhood to the Vols. WE will hear about it. I know that is coming! Lived it before. I'm giving up hope of pulling people away from Pearl.....
April 1, 200818 yr April 1, 2008 Hopson commits to Vols By News Sentinel staff Scotty Hopson of Hopkinsville, Ky., committed to Tennessee on Tuesday after making his official visit.

April 1, 200818 yr :thumb: Only problem with my post was I spelled "since" the wrong way. I think it should have been "sense". :lol: I just realized I did that.
April 1, 200818 yr Well, I've confirmed it. No April Fool's joke on this one - he's a Volunteer. Did you think Scout.com was pulling a prank on the nation?
