Scotty Hopson picks Tennessee

I guess you can call it an April Fool's Joke on Kentucky, but University Heights All-American Scotty Hopson has committed to the University of Tennessee.

Keep in mind, Hopson committed to Mississippi State last year but took it back before the start of his senior season.

Hopson had said last week that he had narrowed his choices to Kentucky, Tennessee, and Cincinnati.

And the people are talking.

• Hopson told the Kentucky New Era that it was Tennessee's tradition that led him to Knoxville
• Hopson told GoVolsxtra.com that UT felt like the right fit, and that he projects to start next year.
• He told the Clarion Ledger that he doesn't commit to a school without signing, even though that's what he did to Mississippi State
