Scotty Hopson Performance and Recruiting Rumors

In the King of the Bluegrass Classic Louisville Male edged out Scotty Hopson's University Heights team for the crown. The game came down to the final two seconds when senior guard Rodd Lanon made a runner in the lane to seal a 53-51 victory for Louisville Male. Lanon finished with 13 points and 6 assists, with Bryce Mitchell adding 14 points and Dexter Shannon contributed 11 points and 12 rebounds. Scotty Hopson lead University Heights with 19 points and 10 rebounds and was named the tourney MVP.

The recruiting rumors are swirling so take them for what they are worth. It is rumored that Tennessee is leading in the Scotty Hopson sweepstakes and that it woudl take a lot to steer Scotty away from the Vols. Not that this is keeping Texas and Louisville from pushing very hard of late, but they have a lot of room to make up.

The rumors also say that UK's Gillespie has elected to not pursue Hopson due to his reputation for slacking off at times during games. Seems Billy wants all hustlers in his next class. Guess he's tired of watching Crawford take rests while he's supposed to be defending.
