My wife goes "Look at the white guy chucking them up"...I said that's Tyler Kolek the former Mason player.
Goodbye Tyler Kolek
- Thread starter dr. gunnie
- Start date
I say why not? He was A10 rookie of the year while he was here. That’s enough Mason contribution to claim him for me.

I realize Georgetown has more of a history than we do but maybe we could put a Kolek Knicks jersey on a wall in the concourse and start a Patriots in the pros wall similar to the one at McDonough.
Not sure of the point that he's trying to make. I didn't pick up much in the way of anti-Knick vibe in the media. Comes across poorly, especially given his non-existent role in the finals.

It appears to be AI-generated based on a photo at Marquette, where he wore jersey #11. On the Knicks, he wears #13 (Jalen Brunson wears #11).
Sorry for the confusion.

More AI slop that drains society's land, water, jobs and electricity?
Do people like the idea of a Patriots in the Pros wall with different pro jerseys I/E Kolek or Otis Livingston's European one.
I attached a screenshot so people can see how GU did it if you've never been there.

Kolek made the photo after seeing this thread and the rude things commented about where he played high school ball
I kid I kid
Let's not forget Jordan Miller on the Clippers!
Going forward if putting someone in our hall of fame requires they be here for more than two years, we may never induct another player in our HOF ever again.

Very very true but also seems like we’re gnashing our teeth and acknowledging that we’ve become a double AA team preparing players for the big time.

Rudolph Jones, the only basketball player in the George Mason Athletic Hall of Fame, played just 2 seasons for the Patriots (1971-73).

I would have a hard time putting a Kolek, Miller et al into a Mason HofF.
Not only should you be setting a performance achievement for your sport, but it should also be about dedication to the University. Leaving to go play elsewhere, and even worse now for $, doesn't show that commitment to the university brand and culture. (And I do realize we may never be able to meet these standards again). The only time the Hancocks, Koleks etc will ever mention Mason is when someone reminds them and they "oh yeah...I was there."
On the other side the Rudolph Jones situation vs say.... George F*ckin Evans....is just the result of a half a** athletic department....
It may be old school thinking but it's just the way I see it.

A Mason HOF is different than a Patriots in the Pros display. We can still have both.

Thank You. No one has expounded on where our jersey wall would be or whether it should be different than Hoyas’ one
All I really want is a half court logo of Keyshawn Hall and KD Johnson if the truth be told.
