BHop's Recovery

[ponyboy]

Anybody out there with an update on Bryan? This was SMU most highly touted recruit in forever and, unless I've missed something, things have been strangely silent on his recovery.

How's he feeling and playing? I'm looking forward to seeing him on the court this coming season.

He's perfectly fine. Nothing wrong wth him at all. He's been playing pickup over at Moody several times a week (and other places as well).

Most likely, he'll never be able to leap like he once did in high school but he still can throw it down.

As we all know, conditioning was his biggest problem last year. Seeing his old buddy go 4th in the draft should have been motivation enough for Hop to get back into shape and lose that extra weight. As for his jumping ability, I think he will get back to his high school level.

Bhop played nicely last year, but you could tell he wasn't 100%. A guy with his skills, and now a year of experience at the next level under his belt, should show signs of domination out there. I hoping for more than just flashes this coming year.

I'm eager to see the burst of quickness that so many people talked about when he signed. You could tell he was hobbled all year last year.

(Of course, we'd all like to run and leap when healthy like he does injured, but that's for another discussion....)

What do you mean?!!You can still slide a credit card under OP's vertical but that is about all.
If BHop isn't motivated by Bosh's success, then we signed the wrong guy. He really has no excuses this year. If he isn't in great shape then its his fault. He got a lot of experience and should be outstanding next year if he ever will be. 2003-04 is BHop's chance to live up to the hype surrounding his signing. Let's all pray that he can.
