Scotty Hopson Still Committed to Mississippi State - Well Sort of!

Except for dismal performance agains Darius Mille, Scotty Hopson is off to a good start in his senior season. But there still remains a cloud over his head from his hesitation to sign with Mississippi State during the early sigining period, and the rumors abounding that he is looking for a new school. When asked abotu all of this he answered to a reporter "I'm still committed to Mississippi State".

When the reporter asked him how firm his commitment was since he refused to sign with Mississippi State during the weeklong November period, Hopson was quoted as replying with "It's firm. It's firm enough."

Yet according to all outside sources he has had some folks on his behalf contact other universities to see if there is still interest in him. According to the article Hopson said that he will entertain recruiting pitches from other schools. How is that sonce he is committed to Mississippi State? He also said that Kentucky has made its interest known. When asked about UK, Hopson responded with something like "maybe in the mix. I can't say right now." Huh?

Scotty, look, either you are committed to Mississippi State or not. which is it? We think he is satrting to realize that how he and his family have handled this entire situation leaves a little to be desired. Its like they're out shopping for a better deal but don't want to walk away from Mississippi State because what if they can't find one? He needs to make up his mind and move on. Either he's lookign or he's not.
