Jaron Hopkins

ANALYSIS
Hopkins isn't quite back to his usual self following a four-game absence, but the senior is heading in the right direction. He put up five points and eight boards in his return last Wednesday, and followed it up with nine points and three boards Saturday against Air Force. His scoring average is down a bit from his junior campaign, but the Colorado transfer should see an increase in playing time as he gets healthier, and conference play gets rolling. Hopkins and the Bulldogs are headed for a road matchup against Utah State on Wednesday, where the forward will look to record his first double-digit scoring game since a 26-point outing Dec. 2.
