So uhh ... transfer #3 in 2021 alone. How many did Paulsen have in his entire tenure? Reuter...?

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Bricker I am with you on this - I am not sure I want to believe it in the case this is a dream and I am really passed out drunk on the couch from a week and a half ago.

Oh I’m so down

I am now going to be disappointed when there isn't a commit to Mason tomorrow lol.

Welcome to Mason Davonte Gaines!!!

From my understanding he brings some good defense and is depth/role player at least right now. Hopefully he can contribute some good minutes.

To be honest - this is the most efficient and effective coaching transition I have seen in recent years - particularly at Mason (at Mason ever). Further confirms that Coach English was the right pick.

Its too much to take in.

Agree with you on that point.

He played very limited minutes. Not much of a shooter. Defense and depth are my hopes for him. Athletic. Put him on Bones when we play vcu.

Apparently he’s an honor roll student at Tennessee as well. What a great find!

I'm just going to buy Mason gear. My oldest son is pissed - he graduates from Mason this year and will have to move out of state for his commission assignment.

He can guard 1-4 in the A-10. He will lock down his man. Never really got going offensively at Tennessee, but also didn't get a ton of minutes to develop within the offense. He's a fantastic teammate, plays extremely hard, and doesn't take anything for granted.

Christmas in April has been wonderful.

That’s exactly what I saw from watching him. Absolutely need a defensive stopper. Going from kids that couldn’t shoot or play defense to being a stud defensively and a bit limited offensively is just fine for me to be a part of the rotation.

We're debating whether a transfer from Tennessee is a role player or a starter for us....what f**king dream world am I living in?
