Article on Germone Hopper


Feb 18, 2017, 10:22 AM

Getting ready for Clemson's pro day.
My favorite part is his mother telling him after a suspension and talking to Dabo: “They’ve given you a scholarship that’s worth thousands of dollars. You have a responsibility to your coaches, to your university, to yourself. And you’re not doing that,” Stewart says she told him. “I’d say, ‘You’d better be glad he’s a loving coach because on some teams you would be gone.’”

That's an excellent article and explains so much more than previous articles. Thank goodness for his strong mother whose held him to a high standard and makes him accountable. Sounds like he's gonna be out of luck with the NFL but maybe he'll be smart enough to get back to Clemson for his degree.

Any student-athlete having feelings of leaving might need to read this. Agree on strong mother, he should have listened. Did anyone catch the mistake? "When Hopper stepped on campus in 2012, the Tigers’ receiving corps featured two future first-round picks in Hopkins and Watson" they meant Watkins instead of Watson.

I don't get it... he gets to run routes on Clemson's Pro Day? I don't mean to sound like a jerk but that takes looks away from Artavis & Leggett, no? Mike is already going top-10, even if he didn't show up for Pro Day. But Deshaun already has a million eyes on him. I'm not all for DW4 throwing to someone he's lost timing with in excess of a year's absence. And I'm not really a fan of Artavis not getting all the targets he deserves to impress scouts as this will be one of his last opportunities to prove just how amazing he is.

Sorry G-Hop, not a huge fan of your decisions or how you left. I'm surprised this is even happening to be honest. And the revelation of the reasons behind him leaving come about a year late.
