Bryce Hopkins Enters Portal

Seems like he didn't recovery from injury.

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.
 
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

Good scorer, excellent rebounder, decent defense. Sign me up if there’s any Kentucky interest, although I’d bet we would have heard something if there was. Good player, would be a perfect option at small ball 4

He couldn't beat out Toppin or Brooks when he was here. The only guy Toppin could guard was Hopkins. If Pope wants him then bring him in. I can't imagine Pope wanting him though.

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.
 
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."
