According to reports, Gillespie finally made a call to Scotty's mom last night. So it appears UK is in it for the long run. It would not surprise me for UT and UK to be battling it in end.

Also, Scotty was supposed to come in for last night's game against Arkansas. However, contrary to some reports that the weather was the problem, Scotty is sick with the flu.

Its gonna be a long race to the end.

He may be sick with the flu, but the local paper reported yesterday that the trip was cancelled due to weather. I would link the story, but anything other than today's issue is usually subscriber side only.

Catspause posters were talking last night about Billy G attending the UHA practice. Somebody even said his car was seen in the parking lot. :eek:lol: I like this line in that article:

"According to other sources, Gillispie was supposed to come to Hopkinsville to attend a Blazer practice Wednesday night, but, due to unknown reasons, he never showed up."

In regards to the phone contact, does that reporter contact the Hopsons every week to see if Billy G has called?

After Marc Maggard reiterated that a call was made to Hopson's mother and that he spoke to Scotty, this came out. Good lord, this kid has a huge media coverage.

And in recent days, there have been reports on the internet that Gillispie has talked with Hopson's mother (Jeanette) or Scotty Hopson. But when I called the house tonight for an interview to get an update on the situation, Jeanette Hopson refuted those claims.

"No, no, no, no, no," she said. "Coach Gillispie has not called here. Not one time."

But Jeanette Hopson went on to explain that she has talked to UK assistant coaches on several occasions this week, the first on Monday (the day before UK played at Vanderbilt).

"The bottom line is on Monday night an assistant called me and said Gillispie was going to call me on Tuesday, but there was no call," the mother said. "Another coach called (Tuesday) afternoon and said he would call before the game and there was no call. Then they called and said he was going to show up at school on Wednesday on way back from the game. But I guess after they got beat so bad, he wanted to get back home. I have seen him three times (this season) and not one time has he come up and said anything. We haven't had any contact with him

After the Worst SEC Loss Ever..........we will tighten our belts and win the rest of our games.

We will win the SEC Tourney.




We will advance in the NCAA's.

We may not win the whole enchilada THIS year, but by next year we will be big favorites every time we step on the floor.

CBC and 2Pat will take us to the promised land sooner before later.

" Great player but I dont want him to begin with. Hate to say bad things about (18) year old but he is all about him that was pretty clear at the "ALL A" Classic here in Richmond. I work for the newspaper here and talk with the sports editor here and the kid showed no class. He should fit in well at UT or Cincy. His selfishness and conceded life approach would only set sour in this organization. I would rather have a guy that is more about the team than his future as a NBA player. If it was up to me I would say take him to Knoxville today!"

love this post, this KY fan "works" at a newspaper and cant spell conceited

From catspause: "I hope this doesn't turn out like another Chris Lofton saga, where he goes elsewhere and UK fans gripe about for the next 4 yrs is why UK didn't land Hopson." :shades:

Scotty Hopson Update from his Mouth Just spoke with him and he will be on our radio show next week. His direct quote when asked about UK contacting him:

"I havent talked to them but I think my coach has."

Take it for whatever you think it is worth.....

Ok, that article convinced me that Hopson definitely wants to come to UK. At least I think his mother wants him there. Her wording is not one of a disinterested mother. She sounds offended that Gillispie hasn't called or spoken with her or Scotty. If they didn't have any interest in UK, it wouldn't matter, right?

She also said that she thinks BCG may feel pressure to recruit him, meaning he isn't that interested. I don't know that I believe that, but regardless I think that if he wants him I think UK would be in the lead for him.

Scotty Hopson update

<DIV class=body>
Another update on the recruitment of University Heights Academy senior star Scotty Hopson, who had committed to Mississippi State but didn't sign with the Bulldogs.

The latest chapter in the ongoing saga about Hopson has been: "Is Kentucky recruiting him?"

The Wildcats have sent several coaches, including Billy Gillispie, to watch Hopson play in a number of games throughout the season. Gillispie was at a recent game in the All "A" Classic when the Blazers played at Eastern Kentucky University.

And in recent days, there have been reports on the internet that Gillispie has talked with Hopson's mother (Jeanette) or Scotty Hopson. But when I called the house tonight for an interview to get an update on the situation, Jeanette Hopson refuted those claims.

"No, no, no, no, no," she said. "Coach Gillispie has not called here. Not one time."

But Jeanette Hopson went on to explain that she has talked to UK assistant coaches on several occasions this week, the first on Monday (the day before UK played at Vanderbilt).

"The bottom line is on Monday night an assistant called me and said Gillispie was going to call me on Tuesday, but there was no call," the mother said. "Another coach called (Tuesday) afternoon and said he would call before the game and there was no call. Then they called and said he was going to show up at school on Wednesday on way back from the game. But I guess after they got beat so bad, he wanted to get back home. I have seen him three times (this season) and not one time has he come up and said anything. We haven't had any contact with him."

Jeanette Hopson also said she thinks Gillispie "might be getting pressure to recruit Scotty," and also noted that "the ball is in his court now."

"A lot of people kept telling me that it's ashame that they're going to let Scotty get out of the state, but what are you going to do?" she said.

The mother also confirmed that the family has been telling coaches who have been calling that "we're focused on a state championship and not going to do anything right now."

Every school in the country is trying to get Tinsley. He's seems to be the hot kid out there right now. He's got a lot of offers from many schools but Tennessee hasn't offered yet. I guess we are not offering because of the potential package deal of Hopson and Edmonson. Is that accurate? How many good kids got away waiting on EW? I don't think Tinsley comes to UT anyway because of the distance.
