Landing one of these guys would be huge, but does Mason really stand a chance of getting a lottery pick type player? Not trying to be negative. Honest question.

Lottery level potential..in other words..both very skilled..but unproven class of '24 rising sophomores at the college level...either one might get the PT to prove themselves at Mason. Especially in the A10 which doesn't have alot of great bigs.

Mason has shown a knack from developing or recruiting under the radar bigs over the last 5-6 years.

that is a key point missing in all of these transfer portal decisions.

What is the total NIL budget - expected?
House Settlement Money?
Collective Funds?

How much are those who stayed getting?
How much are the new guys getting?

I have absolutely no idea.

Someone on this board mentioned $85k/player.
Is that accurate?
I have no idea.

Nice generalization, but for many players the open transfer rules are a lifeline to be able to find a spot where they can make an impact. While the constant turnover is annoying, it also gives coaches who are effective at roster-building a chance to reload more quickly and even upgrade the overall talent.

I liked getting to follow players’ development over four years as much as anyone, but what I really want is for Mason to have a winning team and Tony has proven he knows how to build a winner in this current system. Unfortunately that means some guys have to go.
This is why I'd just wish we could get to the point where we have employment contracts. Risk/reward for both sides. Make the minimum 2 years.
