The 100 Blocked Shots Club

[Pablo]

Junior forward/center Erik Copes currently has 97 career blocked shots, and needs just 3 more to become the 7th Mason men's basketball player with 100 career blocked shots:

1. George Evans (1997-2001) - 211
2. Andre Gaddy (1977-80, 81-82) - 174
Mike Morrison (2008-12) - 174
4. Robert Dykes (1987-91) - 111
5. Rob Rose (1982-86) - 106
6. Louis Birdsong (2006-10) - 101

Can we trade Copes for one more year of Mike Mo, please?

I once thought Copes was a lock to finish no worse than second on this.list. Now, I'm not sure I want him to, unless he develops other useful basketball skills.

This list makes you realize the greatness of GE...if three POYs is not enough!

The fact that Copes has 97 in such limited playing time indicates that he has the physical talent to be much better than he has been.
