Good Guy BUT he did leave us...

All the best in the NBA Luke.

Paul, its okay. Let it go.

 

[Vurbel]

He saw a better opportunity. Which of us would not transfer colleges for a better position when we graduate? I know I would have transferred in a second. If he saw a better opportunity and didn't take it I consider him lazy.

There's something to be said for loyalty than being a hired gun....

For a job making $507,336/year I'd of transferred to that one art school! Ok, maybe that's taking it a bit far. But still.

Had Coach L stayed , he would have stayed. He was loyal to his coach more than to the school (which is understandable -- how many students transfer for various reasons from one school to the other every year?)

And if he stayed at Mason does he sign with an NBA team? Most likely not. Congrats Luke!

Luke won us an NCAA tourney game. A tourney win seems unfathomable in the Hewitt era.

Congrats to Luke. My jersey wearing days are mostly behind me, but I'd certainly buy one and hang it in my basement if he made the roster. This will also be good experience for him before he hopefully comes back to coach Mason someday.

 

[GreenLantern]

Congrats to Luke. Very well deserved. He has shown his support of Mason after he left and has proven to be a class act all around.

 

[TweederGMU]

Luke is a fine man and he is making his Daddy proud!! Great for him!

 

[DeepValue]

Good for him, hope he makes the team. If not, he'll play in Europe for a while and then come back to coach Mason.

You never know what might have happened. He might have averaged 30 points a game and been a second round draft pick, like Joe Harris from Virginia.

You mean like you jumping from Siena to Ga Tech after just 3 seasons?
