Nice timing! He can come in and get a year under his belt behind Haynes and Emejuru. Always a good thing to let the young guys learn and acclimate to college life and ball.

NICE. (quick screen grab before they go and change all of his rankings and predictions)

So, is Kanga 6'10"? 6'8" (according to another source)? Or somewhere in between?

Either way, I hope Emmanuel can pull down the backboard!

They usually exaggerate, so I'm assuming 5-11 until I see him in person.

welcome to Mason, Emmanuel! with Booker and Kanga now in the fold what's next on the shopping list?

My assumption is a scoring PG: Local PG JUCO Corey Caulker or the PG Mike Collins from Houston, Texas
One of those two PGs and a lock-down wing defender. preferably Jalen Rougier-Roane and then we will be set.

It feels good for us to land these kids who we've been long connected with. Great job Tony and staff!

what is the preferred mix of freshman and transfers?
too early to discuss but what if then any number of the current undergrads transfer out for more money or more playing time?

5-11 in socks, 6-10 in shoes

Have to assume we’ll have some guys transfer out, but I’d prefer to bring in more experience at this point unless we land a guy we expect can push for minutes immediately as a true freshman.

I would assume we would be looking at a double digit scoring experienced guard to transfer in - someone to fill Maddox's shoes

Did we land two kids yesterday? according to Kanga's twitter, someone else wore GMU shirt as well during the announcement.

Was it his brother? or a teammate? that player looked about 2-3 inches shorter than Kanga on the twitter pics. also, I find it a little odd that we gave him the old logo as a shirt to wear.

Could be Devin Booker or BJ Ranson, maybe?
