Excellent article from BadgerBeat which gives an extensive description of his game, informs us he's now 15, and shares he grew up a Badger fan (explaining the ridiculously early commit).
BadgerBeat.com - Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball: Hodges makes verbal commitment
Quote:
The last weekend of 2008 was a good one for Devon Hodges.
First, the 6-foot-7 sophomore for Romeoville (Ill.) High School scored 13 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and made the game-winning shot in his team's 52-51 victory over Leyden High School on Dec. 27. Two days later, he received a scholarship offer to play basketball at the University of Wisconsin.
Hodges, a lifelong fan of the UW men's basketball team, accepted that offer Sunday night and called UW assistant coach Howard Moore to give him the news.
``He's a great kid. He's only 15 years old and has the ability to play inside and outside. He's a lefty who has a nice jumper to about 17 feet,'' said Romeoville High School coach Jeff Bambule. ``I think the really good thing about him is that he has a lot of potential. He's going to grow and gain weight. I see him getting better and better.''.........
