University City High senior Ray Hooper, Jr. signed a letter of intent with Cal State Fullerton, where he will either play as a small forward or an shooting guard. Hooper, 6-feet-5 and 205 pounds, averaged 19.8 points a game for the Centurions during the 1989-90 season.
“He could have gone to Georgetown or DePaul if he has a good season,” Ray Hooper, Sr. said. “But we decided to sign early because you can get into a bind. There’s a million guys his size.”
