I've mentioned him a lot in the Sidibe thread but thought he should have his own thread. 6'7", 175.  Extremely athletic sophmore at St. Benedict's.  Kid has elite NBA athletic ability, can put it on the floor and shoot it.  He needs to improve his range but his form is not bad at all.

Offers from St. John's, Seton Hall and VCU.  Interest from a lot of schools, including Miami and Syracuse.  His coach told me that Hop loves his game and the feeling is that he's a perfect fit for SU's system.  We like length.  He has a 7'2" wingspan. He is averaging 13 PPG and 8 RPG. He's shooting 54% FG but only 28% 3's and 49% FT.

A lot of chatter that he will wind up at St. John's since that is where his brother God'sgift went but I think we have a legit shot.  I'd be surprised if we don't offer him down the line.  Kid is an exciting prospect and I think the big boys will all come knocking eventually. He will likely wind up top 25 in his class.

Good thing is we have a tremendous relationship with the staff at SBP.
