Does Pope bring him back to his Old Kentucky Home?
Bryce Hopkins Enters Portal
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54_rivals112262
- Start date
Seems like he didn't recovery from injury.
I would welcome him back with open arms
Sounds bad, but that might mean we can get him on the cheap, get a hometown discount, and maybe he's okay settling into a role instead of wanting to be the star, and just wanting to WIN.
Providence hasn't won very much these past 2 years, might be the perfect recipe to get a talent like this as a Darius Miller type 6th-man.
He entered the portal with a do not contact flag so I guess that means he already knows where he is going. 
I like Bryce and wish he would have stuck around.
However, the last thing UK needs next year is an injury riddled player. They have had more then enough of that this year.
I would pass, personally.

Could he be a Rick Pitino future Johnny?He entered the portal with a do not contact flag so I guess that means he already knows where he is going.
Hypothetically, suppose former Cats entered the portal, not knowing who else we get, how would you rank them in terms of wanting them back. (Hopkins, Wagner, Theiro, Z, Onyenso, Bradshaw)?
I think I would go:
Z (Theiro is better, but Z fits better)
Theiro
Hopkins (would go higher but for injuries)
Wagner
Bradshaw
Onyenso

First thing that came to my mind! Definitely the Pitino type of player.
He has a do not contact tag. My guess is St. John’s or going back to play for his old coach at Georgetown.
I was just thinking, didnt he transfer to Providence when Ed Cooley was there? Might be reuniting at Georgetown
I'd be shocked. G'Town is AWFUL, can't imagine Bryce would be signing up for that.
why in heavens name would you bring in someone who has played in only 3 games the past season. dahhh
I like Bryce but.....
1. He's not a stretch PF at all in Pope system
2. He's always been a defensive 'meh' player no matter the system due to his 6'5 PF.
So I'd much take a shot on the Florida St PF, the German PF, or some high end PF with size and athleticism that will be hitting the portal. I will state this...>I don't want Nate Ament as PF as a starter.

would have to get in much beter shape to play for coach P
The injury history is the only thing that would give me pause...especially coming off our past season
Haha yeah no kidding. Ideally slide him into that Almonor role and see if he sinks or swims.
Looks like he has no contact anyways so he isnt really available. Good luck to him and hope he doesn't have anymore injury issues.
Sounds like St. Johns. "Reinhart also mentioned that Hopkins is meeting with coach Rick Pitino to potentially work out a deal with conference rival St. John’s."
Nothing personal towards any of our former/transfer players but I wouldn’t be interested.
Would be hilarious if he was going to Arkansas. Even Darwin would chuckle.
I can see Hopkins going to St. John's with Pitino as the reporter above suggests, but I doubt he is coming off the bench with the production he was giving Providence when healthy.
Yeah, and Reed Shepperd couldn't beat out DJ Wagner........
Do you see the dilemma?
