I'd be tickled with winning the conference and a game or two in the NCAA tourney.

I’m hoping he’s learn his lesson on the playing favorites thing. But I’ll feel better when I hear that Ashton has signed with another school

Used to coming off the bench, excellent defender and multiple years of eligibility to grow into a starting role. Seems to make perfect sense to me...

Just hard to believe a guy would transfer to come off the bench & have limited PT. Hope it works out but I'd also like to see Penny develop this 4* freshman coming in & to do that, he'll need PT too.

Hunter will likely be the starting PG. He has 1 year eligibility left. Okojie will likely be the backup PG. He has 3 years remaining.

Haggerty will be the 2 guard. He has 3 years remaining. Harris will likely back him up at the 2, with obviously, 4 years remaining.

Sounds logical to me. We should be set on guards now, more or less. Need to work on the other positions now. But having 4 guys for 2 positions seems like the right number to me.

Sure it's logical from our prospective. But again, I can't understand why a guy would transfer to Not start & get the majority minutes.

He wasn't starting at George Mason as a freshman. So probably getting zero NIL.
Become a rotation guy on a bigger stage, and get $40k(?).
It's actually pretty simple to understand these days.

Not to mention that there are 12+ guys on every roster and only 5 starters so there are more players coming in every year knowing they will not start than there are players coming in knowing they will be starters...
