Hat, if he's now being called a 6'7" PG, but can't truly play the position, do you see the form of his contributions to UK next year being similar to what UT has been getting from Prince?

He's a slightly better shooter than Prince, but I wouldn't expect him to be as good an on ball defender.

I wonder if Gillispie's push for Verdell Jones is at least partially out of concern that Liggins won't qualify.

Could be. Not too long ago the story was their was no way he would qualify and if I remember right the kid is like 21 years old. Who knows?! But I wonder if all the '' Galloway is a PG'' is a way to cover up the fact he is a 6'7 wing just like Hopson and they don't want Hopson to know. Probably not, just throwing that out there.

The messages I hope Hopson is receiving are...

Pearl: "You are our guy. You are the player we want."

Gillispie: "You are among the players we have some level of interest in."

He may wind up at Kentucky, but I think saying his mother is pushing for it is a misrepresentation of the facts. From what I know, his mother was very upset that UK had not persued Scotty as intently as MSU, UT, Cincy, and several others. This began under Tubby at an AAU camp, fostered through Billy G's "I won't recruit committed player's" period, and was magnified when Gillispie cancelled a recruiting trip to Hopkinsville to watch Jr. Jon Hood in Madisonville practice.

I know that she was irritated by the comparitive lack of interest by the in-state powerhouse, but I have not heard a single thing from a reputable source that would suggest she is "pushing" UK.

a lot of practice? you're a moron. you get on here and post the most negative things, mostly with no basis at all. the hopson situation is a perfect example. you are basing that argument solely off of what his mom has said. ignoring everything the kid has said himself.

Having seen him attempt futilely to play the position before he left SC, I can say with total confidence Galloway is every bit as much a point guard as JP Prince is.

Haven't watched tape, just going from what others have said. I was a little skeptical when I heard 6'7. Kind of like I was about prince playing PG

UHA beath Henderson Co. 72-61 last night to advance to the regional finals. They play a rematch of the District championship with Christian Co. tonight, so Scotty's season goes on for at least another day.

I was told that he was. Stansbury was also there, and UK sent 2 assistants.

They were priviledged to watch several fights in the stands, followed by a large presence of state troopers brought into restore order. Glad Western Kentucky could put on its best face for our visitors:good!:

Rivals has updated Hopson's list to indicate that he has dropped UAB from consideration. :eek:lol:
