Roster Effects of losing Coach English

If and when we hire Tony Skinn (totally on board, can't wait) I'm hoping the collective group of Mason Hoop Alums who love Tony as a hire, and whom presumably already have some relationship with the players- help recruit of few of the key guys to stay.

He is actually crapping on the job that gave him a chance to be a head coach and the players he rode to get there...
I think he’s crapping on the AD. Still sour grapes from ‘06. I have to say I feel the same way.

I hope we never entertain Caputo being coach here. He can die at GW in a cesspool of mediocrity at a university that lets SJW loons screw up their mascot and school name. Eff him, his wife and his kids. He is dead. And I hope our next coach beats him again. May he suffer from a combination of herpes, raging jock itch, and peroni's disease.

Not sure if you mean Athletic Director or Athletic Department here but either way it is completely different now...so why even go there? Does he have sour grapes towards Dr. Washington, Nena Rogers, etc? Shit, GW has more staff members from the 06 Mason Athletic Department than we do now...

And its not like GW has a shining program.

Athletic department in general, sometimes one has to clean with disinfectant before meaningful change can occur. My few interactions with the athletic department left me wondering how they were employed…I perceived there was absolutely no pressure to succeed/push the envelope.

Aside from Blake which was predictable, is odd how quiet the roster is. KE probably is in contact with the boys telling them to only listen to him.

There are obviously ways around the rules, but I'm pretty sure coaches face serious implications if they contact prospective players before they are in the portal.

That said, Kim is Mason's coach until he signs the new contract, so I'm sure he has had one-on-one conversations with our current players and incoming recruits about what whether they fit into his new plans. I'm sure we will see a flurry of activity once he makes his decision.

Yeah recruits get released. Polite, Ginika, Henry are only 3 that stick around. May have to grab a couple d2 kids or juco guys to fill out a team. I don't know if you can find 10 kids mid summer. Could go with a bunch of walk on's to practice and not lock up scholarships.

this is why we need a coach - next week - if not sooner

Of course, will be lot of portal guys. Most high schoolers are locked up and not as much heartbroken on those but do need players to fill up a roster. Fully expect next coach will need 3-4 years to be competitive.

Everyone's take on Caputo's comments surprised me a little. All I thought when I read it was, "Yeah. Good point." He said what we all say, and we're all right. We've done next to nothing in our entire history except while L was at the helm. We've done literally nothing since he left. Caputo is giving his former boss due respect, not shitting on Mason. The truth hurts, but you might as well tell it

You’re right, the truth is bad enough, so no need to say dumb shit like we were a D2 school and weren’t even drawing 1,000 fans before L came. Bad look for Caputo.
