The point is Jahari has a shot
CTS has a shot a keeping Mincy, Long, BOC, Hill and Troutman together for one more year...all these will already know the system. Skinn can open up the offenaw

Yes, Jack Clark played in 6 seasons (including the pandemic season and an injury-shortened season) over 7 years of school - https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/stats/_/id/4397152/jack-clark

So, you are correct. There is precedent for this situation.

Along with Allenspach and Kanga. I think it’s very unlikely they all stay but it’s possible. Troutman still
has eligibility? I figured Hill does because he started at CC and JC.

If Mason can return 60+ percent of this years scoring then 27 could be a really good year.

He's played 4 years and never less than 13 games in a year. So I don't think he has any more eligibility.

Its hard enough learning their names at begining of season. Knowing which players have eligibilty, now thats gonna require another cup of coffee this morning.

 

[TweederGMU]

Pretty sure Troutman is out of eligibility.

Well fanatics was wrong about Fatt. Skinn already said he has Hill has a other year because he was Juco his first 2 years.

My point is the AD is the only group that knows the eligibility situation of each player and if which ones could have another year.

Naw the AD should not be the only one who knows. Idk if we have a GM but that person, the HC, and a few others should all know the eligibility of the players on their teams. NIL and portal is a 365 days a year thing. Gotta be aware of your hand at all times

Actually no one knows. I just heard that Nalani Kaysia, a "senior" starter on last year's women's team was told by people at Mason she would not get another year. She transfered to Providence and got another year, only to sit on the bench and barely play.

Point is that it is really unpredictable, and all our staff/AD knows is who may be petitioning for another year, but no idea if they will get it.

For 1) this chart is awesome

For 2) there is a * that says that additional eligibility TBD

It should be used as a forecast and its pretty accurate even if not 100%.

Yes you are right. The chase is awesome. It is more than accurate for our purposes.

My apologies to MasonFanatic for not showing more appreciation for the effort he/she put into this.

Respect.

 

[GMU1983]

Can you imagine if all these guys come back how awesome 26/27 should be?

 

[GSII]

Is Ryan Mendy redshirting?

 

[GMUgemini]

Is Ryan Mendy redshirting?

Neither he nor Skinn played in any regular season games, so I’m going to assume yes. If neither is back that would not surprise me at all.

If Long and Hill and Troutman all get waivers, I doubt Booker comes back either. We also have a combo pg coming in as a freshman next year too. That would be a crowded backcourt to try to get minutes in.

Calculus changes for Booker of most (or all) of the above guards are gone.

If we are able to bring back Long, BOC, and Mincy that will be very successful. Would love for Riley to stay as well but I think a big with his numbers is getting a bag that isn’t worth our while to match.

I’d wish the rest of them the best at their next opportunity.

I'd add Kanga to the list.
