Rico Hopping gives Life Pacific a pro-style wing presence with real scoring pop
In the 2024-25 season, Rico Hopping averaged 15.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21 games for Life Pacific while shooting 43.4% from the field, and he was recognized as one of the first players in program history to earn GSAC All-Conference honors[1][8]. At 6-foot-5, he brings guard size, rebounding from the perimeter, and enough shot-making to tilt matchups, which makes him the kind of versatile piece coaches love plugging into a rotation[1][9]. If a team wants a seasoned scorer with length, conference-level credibility, and a history of producing against higher-profile opposition, Hopping is a name worth a serious look[1][5].
