Kopp will make immediate impact at Northwestern, says Bossi

You can count Rivals national basketball recruiting analyst Eric Bossi as a Miller Kopp fan.

Bossi attended the Thanskgiving Hoopfest in Duncanville, Tex., over the weekend and walked away impressed by the play of Northwestern's four-star Class of 2018 signee.

Bossi wrote an item about Kopp in his Thanksgiving Hoopfest Saturday Takeaways and had some high words of praise for the 6-foot-7, 210-pound wing who is currently ranked as the No. 98 prospect in the nation.

Kopp, says Bossi, has what it takes to instantly make his presence felt in Evanston.

"Coming off of their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance, Chris Collins and his staff at Northwestern put together a top 25 class for 2018. Though he's not currently the highest-ranked member of the Northwestern class (skilled big man Pete Nance is ranked higher), I am pretty sure that he's going to be the most impactful from the day he steps on campus," he wrote.

"Kopp has a blend of skill, toughness and will to compete that is hard to ignore. He moves well away from the ball, is a great shooter and his passing is outstanding. He's a pretty complete ballplayer and the kind of guy who is going to show up on campus and tell the veterans that he's there to learn from them, win games and take as many of their minutes as he can. He came from off the radar to move into the national top 100 over the summer and I doubt his climb up the rankings is done."
