 Love having Max for 2013. Great chance for him to get stronger this year and be a terrific bench shooter down the road.

Key for Lav to build the roster with guys like this and a project like Felix. The new reality for this program will be early departures for the draft and of course tranfers. I would not be concerned with lack of ships available. Lav will find them for studs that want to be here.

You can never have enough shooting. But now I'm starting to get nervous that we wont get another big for this year.

Whether he finds a role on the team or sits on the bench for three years, he should be good for the team APR.

Let them play zone against us now..........

I agree. Nowadays you can't have enough 3pt shooters, if you can make them it opens up the inside.

Hooper's commitment will not have any affect on us getting a big.

 every great team seems to always have the one deadly 3 point specialist we just got ours, question is he able to play next year or does he have to sit out till 2013.

He has to wait till fall 2013 to play in games.

Gumby- nervous?
There's a shocker

Lavin just took one of our long time weaknesses and turned it into a strength. When's the last time we had 2 or 3 good shooters?  Whether off the dribble of spotting up? To me you can never have enough guys who can stick the 3.

 

[redstorm80]

I've seen him multiple times and he can flat out play. Absolutely deadly from 3 & can definitely hang with the big boys. Thrilled to have him on board

 Another point of interest. Max Hooper is the son of Chip Hooper. From what I've heard, and i could be wrong, but it is the same Chip Hooper former Mega music agent now Music Mogul and Worldwide talent director for Paradigm Agency. In a nutshell, one of the most powerful and influential people in the music industry bar-none. He could be a tremendous booster to SJU. A good person to have on our side if my info is correct.
