Welcome Jared Billups

[Old Ram]

Does he have 3 years left?

Should only have 2 years. He wasn’t a ”Covid” kid.

Thank you

Solid pick up, especially if that dirty little school in Richmond was eyeing him.... along with Davidson. Davidson recruits defense.

Good motor on this kid.... won't be an elite scorer but if he can lock down the opponents stud guard each night and make their life miserable shooting the ball and throw in some steals each game..then if he can give us 8-10 points a game we should be more than happy.

I wasn’t kidding when I said half the A10: Richmond, Davidson, vcu, UMass , URI, La Salle and Mason.

Didn’t Billups come to Mason with Colorado one season (think a home and home) when Nate Langley was with the patriots?

Right you are!! And here's the documentation:

And here's proof of the home and home:

Mason played Colorado with Chauncy Billups decades ago. Although there, I don't remember many details other than it was an exciting game and Mason won.

I wasn't there, but I remember how excited I was.

That probably means you had a great time.

I was there and had a great time since we won. Unfortunately, there was a huge snowstorm, so not many people showed up. Here's the WaPo write up:
