We've looked at Dennis Hopson's famed 1986-87 senior season, one in which he ended third in voting for National Player of the Year - an honor required by The Ohio State University before being given consideration to having your number retired. We've looked at the 1986-87 season of David Robinson, the man who won the award that year. We've compared and contrasted Hop's senior season to the college basketball greats of his era and seen him come out near the top in every angle you can view it from. We've also taken a look at how Ohio State and other institutions chose to honor special athletes that come through their programs over the years.
You've now heard plenty on the topic from us here at Buckeye House Call, but we also wanted to present to you the angle from within. The opportunity to see the situation from the inside rather than simple opinions from the outside looking in, so we went straight to the man himself:
Dennis Hopson
This is the fifth of a five-part series documenting the Ohio State career of Mr. Dennis Hopson - and why we should never again see a #32 in Scarlet and Gray.
