UT coaches did not make it, although a school official told me Bruce was scheduled to come. My guess is that they could not get an airplane in here do to a low ceiling, a common problem at our airport this time of year.
I'll have to check the stat line when the paper comes out, but Hopson had 33 points and, by my unofficial count, was about 3 blocks away from a triple double against a pretty good Clarksville team that included Tyrone Caldwell, a point guard that has signed with APSU.
The kid is a real talent, and he is definitely bigger than 6'5". He has 3 point range, but is still best in transition or breaking a player down from the wing and going to the basket. He is a force in the paint on defense and rebounding. My only criticism is that he still has trouble being intense for the whole game, although he turned it on, especially defensively, in the 4th quarter last night.
For what it is worth, UHA also has another potential D-1 player in point/2-guard Tyshaun Edmunds (sp?) The kid had 29 last night and outplayed Clarksville's Caldwell. I know that last year's UHA coach was trying to package the two, but he resigned and there is a new staff in place.
If I learn anything else, I'll be sure to post an update.
