Harvard Degree is one of the most prestigious degrees you can get, if you are not going pro then you need your degree.

Ever think he couldn't hack it at Harvard academically?
Maybe that's why he didn't play all year?

 He has a rep for being a great shooter. Looks like he only played two games last year. Also looks as though he went to a familiar prep school by the name of Brewster

Hooper is out of Mater Dei, and he is certainly a net stripper. I believe he's about 6'5", as well. So, he has pretty decent height.

Hooper did play at Brewster (with Sampson) during the 2010-2011 season. Imagine him on the secondary break.

Did you see that quick release coming off the curl play in the video. Sign him up!

Wonder why he only played two games last year. Was it academics related? Given his stellar academic track record that would be surprising.

Also, given his acadamic background, why would he prep a year? Is it b/c he didn't get any offers coming out highschool? If that's the case, it seems strange that we'd be interested in him now. He didn't exactly get an opportunity to showcase himself at Harvard.

Anybody know what kind of numbers he put up at Brewster?

Remember a fellow by the name of Jeff Van Gundy who started at Yale and then transferred to Menlo College before getting his degree from Nazareth. People transfer for a variety of reasons, even from some of the best school's on the planet.

 This kid can shoot the rock! Sign him up now!

He had a very low ranking on Scout and probably didn't get much of a look from major schools.

Looks like this was a fast offer. Staff sure on top of things

Since he only played in 2 games last year would he still have to sit out the required one year for a transfer? 

 

[basketballjones]

If he transfers out of the conference he doesn't have to sit out, I think.
A friend of mine in LA, who is originally from Brooklyn, saw the kid play a lot last year and thinks he would be a good addition. FWIW
