Historic UNO Forward with Elite All-Around Scoring (2006-07)
Eric Hipolito is a 6-4 forward from Phoenix, AZ, who delivered a legendary high school senior season averaging 18.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists while leading his team to the Class 5A state semifinals [2]. He signed with the New Orleans Privateers for the 2006-07 season, bringing a rare combination of scoring volume, rebounding, and playmaking that earned him all-region honors the prior year with 14.0 PPG, 7.0 RPG, and 4.0 APG [1]. Though his college stats at UNO and later FPU (3.3 RPG) were modest compared to his high school dominance, his differentiator is his high-intensity, versatile wing profile capable of filling multiple stat lines [2][3]. For a team seeking a hard-nosed, ball-handling forward with state-level pedigree and a 200-pound frame, Hipolito offers proven intensity and all-around utility, though he is now a former player whose active college career ended over a decade ago [4][5].
