Kory's finger is broken! Losing Fatt and Kory kills you. I mean the bigger question is how did Kory do what he did vs St Louis and vcu because it was said he needs surgery tonight after the game now that the season is over the truth of how bad it was came out. Having O'Connor Fatt and a Healthy Kory changes everything. With all the injuries I think Tony did a pretty solid job!! So Long tried to win it by himself and almost did it. If Kory doesn't drop the ball twice in the lane they would have had a chance to win but you could tell his hand was just gone at that point.

Mincy played 39 minutes last night with a hand that is hurt badly enough to require surgery. What a warrior. I don’t care if the guy missed every shot he took, that is the type of toughness, selflessness and competitive spirit you need in your program.
He literally left it all on the floor — if he takes a bag from somebody and it’s one-and-done for him at Mason, no complaints from me.

Knowing Mincy had a broken hand and fats out with a leg injury, I would have declined an NIT invitation.
Having broken my wrist with a multiple fracture in my early 20's. The only thing that overusing it in strenuous excercise did for me was aggravating more and expedite on the onset the arthritis in that wrist quicker.
Skinn propensity to let his play his guard exorbitant minutes is disconcerting.
Again, I would much he let the players heal than injured players play.

They can have Riley, no D and very little effort, we need to keep Kory, Kanga and O connor, everyone else can go.Assuming Long is ineligble.

I don't do X or anything else on social media. I'm hoping you guys will post updates on here.
There will be discussion of who we are after but please do not expect that every tweet is going to be posted on here. We try to avoid that as it clogs the boards and we try to keep the discussions going not just cut and pastes.

I am tracking Steve Curran's activity. From what I've seen so far, I have no doubt Mason will pull some really good additions.There will be discussion of who we are after but please do not expect that every tweet is going to be posted on here.

I like the type of players he's canvasing.
Looking at our overall stats and NCAA rankings we had one glaring weakness, 3 point shooting. We averaged 6.3 made threes per game (313th nationally) on 18.6 attempts per game (327th nationally). I have faith that the staff will look to address this. Complete end of year rankings here.
Pretty sure the staff expects Long to get a waiver and have one more year. Also Hill might have eligibility remaining b/c he started at a JUCO. Keeping both of those guys would be massive for continuity and obviously production.

Pendergrass is going to have same impact as Kanga this year.
Fun fact: Kanga led the A10 in rebounds per minute.
Oh, I didn't mean or expect that at all. Just to have periodic updates. Thanks!There will be discussion of who we are after but please do not expect that every tweet is going to be posted on here.

From some conversations I've had over the last week, mainly in Pittsburgh:
-Multiple individuals said that Jahari, BOC and Kanga have already signed on for next season.
-Most people I talked to said it will be significantly harder to keep Kory than Riley, though Kory likes the area and staff and will genuinely think about staying
-The reason given for Riley sticking around is his foot speed and defensive limitations have not led to P5s buying in. He would require good money, but there seems to be a general thought that his offensive output wouldn't translate the full way to P5 levels consistently and his defense would become an even bigger issue then.
-We will see what happens on the wings this year. Pendergrass is expected to play a similar role to Kanga and the staff wants to at least provide Booker with the opportunity to get an increased role this offseason. With BOC and Jahari likely back, plus Peyton Miller in as a freshman, there may be only one pure guard spot open to be targeted in portal madness this year.

Thanks for sharing this useful background. It's one of the main reasons for keeping up with the message board.

Hoop there it is!
Fernandez back in the portal
If he is completely healthy, it looks like he would be a huge get. But I don't think he would return to Mason. Too much old baggage??
Probably led the A10 in Fouls per minute too. Jokes aside, Kanga has huge upside. If he can have a little more self control on defense and develop his offense skillset, I can see him being an All conference player.
Hes completely healthy and I would take him in a heartbeat. But if we want guys who plays defense, I'm not sure he is quite a fit for Mason.
That being said, I could see him getting multiple A10 type offers (Richmond, GW, St Joes).
Thanks for sharing this. One of the main reasons why I go to the conf tournament (besides to watch Mason) is to get information like this from conversations. The comment about Riley makes a lot of sense and its good news if BOC Jahari and Kanga are planning to come back and/or signed already.
Hopefully Kory likes Mason a lot and will stick around.
Ugggh - you just made me super nervous that he ends up at vcu and torches us next year
