Oh, yes. I was just thinking it sounded like one of Hewitt’s 6’7 wings. Okoloji is right!
Lol ah yes, Anali Okoloji. Best known for breaking a full court press in practice (hi @MasonFanatic ) , being thought of as a potential Kevin Durant (hi @gmutom ).

And also stomping on (USF) and the hearts of Mason fans as the epitome of what was wrong with the Hewitt era.

Various other items too that I omitted.

Unfortunately, AO wasn't actually good, our press was just that bad.

Hewitt loved to take athletic wings and tell them he could make them a PG at the next level.

Yeah, that comparison turned out very poorly, but the intent wasn't to compare their talents but rather what I incorrectly perceived to be the versatility in Okoloji's game. Based on his highlight reel — I know, rookie mistake on my part — I envisioned him being able to snag a rebound, dribble down the court and either score or set up our offense. Yeah, no so much. Just ended up being another 6-7 guy on a roster full of 6-7 guys.

Was he also the guy that was texting/tweeting while on the bench?

Someone on here said AO was going to be a match up nightmare for other teams.

Can't remember who we were playing, but we were up by seven - I think - with around a minute left and he single-handedly lost the game.

I'm sure I was one of the ones cheerleading for AO after seeing kenner games.

AO will always be that guy that because of nerves or bad instincts, just couldn't get it done in a real game. But put him in a pickup/summer game and wow...

Was it him or Julian Royal that Hewitt had supposedly dated their mom or something long ago and that explained his attachment to Hewitt?

Sister-in-law changed birthday plans so I can't go Sunday. Hoping to clear my calendar for Saturday so I can provide accurate stats for Mason players.
