Leonard Hopkins?

Will Leonard Hopkins be returning to the basketball team next year?

I talked with one of the Asst BB coaches last week and was told he has recovered well from surgery and is working out and looking out. Every indication they are counting for him to be back.

Does anyone know when a decision will be reached by NCAA regarding his med. redshirt?

UNT96 · April 23, 2003

Hey Steve, I think Leonard has already gotten two red shirts. One when he first got here as a frosh red shirt and then another for a medical redshirt. Last year was his first full season (kind of - more like 3/4 of a season), correct? I don't think the NCAA will give him another one but crazier things have happened. I sure hope so, we literally fell off the map when he got hurt last year. With no Davis this year we will need Hopkins more than ever if we expect to win over 5 games.

Len Hopkins:

1997-98: One of top High School Sophs in the state.

1998-99: Missed Jr season due to operation on leg.

1999-00: Missed Sr season due to infection in the same leg.

2000-01: Freshman at NT. Voluntarily red shirted.

2001-02: Played 28 games.

2002-03: Played 9 games. Asked for Med red shirt. Probably won't get it because he played too many games. Scott Roniger also played 9 games and has also requested a med red shirt year.
