"...It does come as somewhat of a surprise that 6'1 Bryan Hopkins from Dallas (Lincoln) TX appears to be on the verge of verbally committing to SMU again. If you will recall, Hopkins verbally committed to SMU on Wednesday, September 5th, but reneged five days later. Apparently the University of Texas really turned up the heat and they came a lot closer to getting this one done than a lot of people realize. However, now it appears to be tipping back the other way..."

Way to go SMU!

Viva Ponyball!!!!!

That's huge.

But didn't earlier reports list him as 5-foot-10? Has he really grown three inches in a couple of weeks? By the time he gets on campus, he might be the 7-footer we need.

What a coups - I've seen him play. We haven't had a natural athlete like him since Eiron Harris. The difference is that this kid is a also a terrific basketball player, in addition to being an amazing athlete.
