IMO he is sort of a backup plan b/c I think Buford's recruitment is going to pickup and the coaches just want to have all their bases covered.

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

Hopson comes in at #10 in the new 2008 rankings, not a bad backup plan.

 

[LitlBuck]

I really don't see Hopson as a backup plan to Buford but more as a push. If Buford waits around and doesn't commit for some time and Hopson pulls the trigger for the Buckeyes we aren't at that much of a loss. However, I do think our chances of getting Buford are much higher.

I think it is the same way with Roe/Gates while Roe is a much better player than Gates if Roe waits too long and for some strange reason Gates pulls the trigger I would think that we lose Roe.
