Scotty Hopson

He is holding off on signing early with Mississippi State. There have not been any reports that he is considering any other specific schools. But, you have to wonder if this means he is listening a little more to UK or UT right now. We should find out soon.

Yeah I heard this on catspause as well. But of course - Kentucky fans are 100% positive they will land Hopson.

Bassmanbruno · 11-14-2007, 01:33 PM

Actually - looks like he plans on signing tomorrow. Still could back out but not likely.

How high up on his list were we when he committed to MSU?

Bassmanbruno · 11-14-2007, 02:25 PM

I think we were top 5 atleast.

Bassmanbruno · 11-14-2007, 02:26 PM

But it would be interesting for him since we lost out on EW... but all of this is a huge stretch.

UTLCA · 11-14-2007, 02:46 PM

I mean obviously we'd need to see something concrete saying that he is definately will wait til spring. But hey, if we could get back into it I'd like to see what happens when we mix it up against a down UK program with a coach who seems too big for his britches and MSU who was obviously his leader.

don't see where he signed with MSU today, either. anybody heard anything recently about this kid?

ukvols · 11-16-2007, 02:43 AM

I read somewhere that he would be signing with MSU on Friday.

HV, what's up??

matts42012volfan · 11-16-2007, 06:48 AM

Hopson didnt sign!!!...but idk if there is any hope for us getting him

Local word is that nothing is set with this kid. He was scheduled to sign tonight with MSU at his school's "meet the public" scrimmage, but it is far from certain as to whether that happens. If he does not, he most likely won't do anything during the early signing period (which I believe ends next week,) and I would think his recruitment would be wide open, with UT having as good a chance as anyone.

That'd be interesting, but I'll postpone any hope for the moment.

Work some magic Pearl... please.

We've lost out on a ton of good guards this year... but it will sting even more if he decides to go to UK if he doesn't sign with State.

rexvol · 11-16-2007, 02:21 PM

I hope Pearl is working him.
