If Hopson is really this good. . .

I've never seen a player at TN (or maybe anywhere) improve this much between 2nd and 3rd year. I'll go ahead and confess, I never in a million years thought he had this in him, not necessarily physically, but mentally. The fade is a bit suspect, but if he continues to play like this, I don't care if he wears a used diaper on his head.

IMO the fade is clutch. He has become a star and has gotten tons of face time. The fade has helped him get his swagger. Orange. White. High-top fade.

Oooooweeee baby! Apparently Hopson's always had, just finally has the confidence to play up to his ability.

Although there is definitely work to be done on the inbounds pass and minimizing foul trouble, we look good, I mean really good. Would you have believed we had a chance to win if I told you Williams, Fields, and Hall were going to foul out? I prob wouldn't. Here's a toast to the top-10.

I said it's great to be a Tennessee Vol!!

Easily the best game of his career. He's finally showing consistency and stepping up in big games. He didn't just step up today, he dominated the game. Couldn't be any happier for Hopson. He's been a victim of hype but if he continues playing like this the rest of the season the sky is the limit.
