Mike Hopkins Has Legs And He's Not Afraid To Use Them

Yep, that's SU basketball assistant coach Mike Hopkins styling and profiling last night at the Bella Casa Celebrity Fashion Show. Next to him is 11-year-old Nicolas Mista. Apparently they just swapped outfits in the back right before the show.

You might think it a cute and incidental pairing, with Hopkins playing it silly for no apparent reason. But clearly you don't understand the seedy underworld of college recruiting. Mista is rated #17 in his class by Steurgeon, DiBergi and Farquar, the nation's leading recruiting service covering pre-teens in Upstate New York.

Mista signed an LOI to play for Syracuse in 2018 immediately following the event. Well played, Hops.

The elusive photos of DOCTOR Gross and his emsemble continue to elude me. Keep your eyes peeled.

The event raised money for the Ronald McDonald House charities of Central New York.

What’s with the kid’s sideburns?

Its just hair

all the emo kids are doing it these days, growing their hair long, matting it against their heads and making it curve in a creative way. Ive seen kids at the gym (seriously) in front of the mirror just working their hair so it does just the right emo flip.

he will look back on these photos and regret his fashion choices.
