Goodbye Baraka Okojie

[Dawgs99]

Best thing for JB is that he can sit for a year behind BO and RP if he returns, maybe even redshirt if RP returns. There shouldn't be a need in the back court to rush him in to action before he's ready. Not sure where DD fits in going forward.

I don't expect we'll ever see DD in a Mason uniform again - just my speculation

Wonder if we’ll see more redshirts moving forward now that the bonus covid year is gone

I don't see JB redshirting. At the coaches show on 11/12 Coach Skinn talked about bringing in freshman, specifically Justin Begg, who were ready to compete "for A10 Rookie of the Year." Begg and Okojie are two of the keys to the future of the program.

If Okojie is any indication of this staff's ability to identify PG talent then I'm not worried about Begg.

I'm sure his height will lead to a bigger adjustment period, but he also seems to have the athleticism and quickness to help offset that.

What is the status for Devin Dinkins? Is he still dealing with a back injury?

Or perhaps this is a ominous sign that he has been unfortunately recruited over and we will be seeing him in the transfer portal at the end of the season.

Justin Begg like Devin Dinkins is very generously listed at 5'10/5'11 on recruiting websites. Real actual height probably 5'9/5'8.

What sets Justin Begg apart from the point guards we currently have?

I think, crucially, from watching the tape that Begg looks significantly more athletic than Dink has insofar shown during his time here- that’ll help big time with his height issues.

No more redshirts except for season-ending injuries. Makes no sense otherwise — get what you can from a player recognizing he can transfer at will.

Will it be recorded and posted on Youtube afterwards?

 

[EXpatriot13]

That defensive play he made knocking the ball out of the hands of the Tulane player who was on a fast break....such an awesome play down the stretch. This dude is going to be such a pain in the a** for opponents.

I believe it will be recorded. Not sure where the recording will be posted. Your best bet is to join it live.

Side note…wish I could buy the shirt Baraka is wearing.
