Hodgson actually spent a semester at Indiana, did not enjoy being redshirted (or "The General" in general), so he transferred.
I don't remember UPenn, but it's possible. He never would have signed "scholarship papers", so could have stopped there in between.

he very well could have done both.... I know when we were after him, it was between us and another northeastern school, probably Upenn...the story was that he was on that campus and for some reason, changed his mind, and I guess it was not too late to do so, somehow....
this would have had to have happened after the
semester at Indiana, of course.....but I do remember this happening
anyway, top five lists are extremely tough, and I would need considerable time to weigh all I remember......but throwing out an early, and probably needing to be a later revised list,
1) Jammin James Bailey......for those who never saw him play, you would have loved
him..... a little known fact is that he is THE all time
dunk leader in college basketball history....doing it all in
three years
2) Phil, the thrill, Sellers:......the primary driving force to getting to the final four.
the leader of the team, and a bull on the court
3) John Battle.......it gets tough here, but agree with the poster above.....he came out
of no where, after a mediocre freshman year
4) Roy Hinson.......similar to James as far as controlling games....not the slam dunk
specialist as he was, but a great center for us
5) Q Douby..............when he was on, he was really on.....had some really classic
games versus Syracuse, tortured them....but we often fell short
