Looks like an early depth pickup.

How much $ is he getting?

Frontcourt depth was an area of focus this year. Marcus is only the first piece of that. Played mostly at the 4 last year, can play at both the 4 and 5. Defensive metrics look positive and he is an efficient two point shooter, hitting 59% of his shots at the rim.

Good early pickup.

That would honestly be an awesome promotion. Promote it, bring in Guinness reps (one for the record and one to give out pints), have him play with the band AND play in the game - set a record for first ever D1 basketball player to play in the band and for the team in the same game (I assume).

Just got an email from the athletic department, responded with this idea for a promotion

Looks like he played every game the last two years and progressed pretty well his sophomore year. Hopefully that trend continues and then he can collect his million dollar check on Cincy's dime next year lol

So, is Mason the official U of Cincinnati Farm Club?

Not to be lawyerly, but how is it that public schools don't have to disclose how much they are paying athletes?

Maybe we can get some rev share money if we put their logo in EBA somewhere.

Don't know the answer to that question--if they were "employees" that would have to be disclosed.

"As we look to replace Riley this season, Michael's ability to make 3s from his position and his overall skill set in the frontcourt will make a significant impact."

Shot about the same from 3 (low 30s%) as Riley and took around 20 more 3's on the yr. Somewhat higher % of Offensive rebounds than Riley.
