Those of you HBBIQers, tell us about Hopper.  Saw some pretty sick dunks at the pre-season scrimmage on news, but know nothing about his game.  Should we be excited about him?  How will he fit with Foster/Thomas/Wesley? 

Also, any info on Bolden?  Thanks studs.

It will be interesting to see how Edwards fits. He was the best player on a bad team at Maine. He was a very inefficient scorer, below average shooter, pretty good at assists, steals, and drawing fouls.

Bolden is an unknown, he played in 4 games at GT and literally his only stats was missing one shot. He was a 3 star recruit with supposed offers from Georgetown, Baylor, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, VCU, and VT out of high school.

Any idea who wanted Bolden when he announced his intent to transfer?

I couldn't find anything connecting him to any other school with his transfer.

This was somewhat interesting and was probably posted when he was announced, but I don't remember: http://www.casualhoya.com/2013/4/30/4285826/report-brandon-bolden-to-transfer-from-georgetown

1. Javon, Nigel, Marcus
2. Marcus, Nigel, Harris, Edwards 
3. Edwards, Westicles, Harris, Marcus 
4. Westicles, Nino,  :crossfingers: Clark :crossfingers:
5. Gip, Hurt, Bolden, DJamer   

We are going to be really deep next year, with only two seniors.

Say what you want about the competition. But when you combined his kind of bounce with how proficient with jump stops and euro steps you have a chance at see an elite player at the big 12 level.

Maybe because he didn't rub him the wrong way at Bullchicks like Edwards did. :dunno:

Edwards and Boldin played in the open practice/ pre-season scrimmage before a football game last fall. Boldin wasn't much of a factor that day, but Edwards left quite an impression on me. I thought he was the best player on the floor that day. Its a small sample size, but he was hot from 3 pt range and had a couple of dunks, one an athletic ally oop that was an awesome DOB. He's raised my expectation for next year.

I wish I knew more about Hurt.

Did you see the discussion about Hurt in the recruiting thread? Pretty good.

That Maine was pimping him for conference player of the year makes the "best player on a bad team" description seem like a bit of an understatement.

it's not even clear he was the best player on that team.
