Another "gut" feeling about Hobson .....

He wasn't terribly commited to coming here after Hamga didn't.

Outward signs are that he was pretty "distant" during all of this drama. It may have been better for us that he not qualify.

It is good that the issue surrounding whether he would or wouldn't be here is over. The team can move on and focus on making a run at a conference championship with the team they have. I believe that if Alford can get Giddens to by into playing team basketball the pieces are there to challenge for the conference title.

I'm not sure that Hamga has anything to do with the Hobson situation. When I heard Hamga interviewed on 770 KOB he didn't seem to be good friends with Hobson. When Stig asked if Hobson would influence his decision he said no. Hamga and Hobson only played 1 year together--they aren't life-long friends. I doubt that Hobson is going to sit out a whole year or two uust to play with Hamga at UNLV---the reason he is not at UNM is a clearinghouse issue.

Hmmm...I don't know what "signs" you are talking about. I think he wanted to play here, and hopefully he still does. If he does, he can get eligible...even if it means going to JC for two years.
