English's new Twitter follows since late yesterday:

Jack Meriweather (Miller School C'ville)
PVI Hoops
Some guy named Lamar Butler?

It's on!

Lamar goes hard on Twitter. Not the best look.

Irrelevant if English is already "the guy" and reaching out.

Who needs sources when you have Twitter? Unless he 180s (or just really likes trolling us) ... gotta think it'll be announced once Tennesssee is knocked out.

I agree. This is awesome.

I’m gonna show my age and I don’t really use Twitter but how can you see who Kim is recently starting to follow?

just go to his profile and click on "following". the top ones are the most recent.

They'll show at the top of his followers list. He started following Dr. Washington earlier on prior to the Paulsen announcement, from what I can tell. But Jai, Lamar, and others are definitely within the last 24 hours.

Well this would just be a real nice surprise. I hate it for Tennessee, but couldn’t be happier for Mason.

Behaviorally, he's paying attention.

Jai tweeted last night: "If we can't get Tony Skinn as the head coach, let's get Lamar Butler as an assistant coach. #MASONbasketball"

And then Kim starts to follow him...

Next thing you know, he starts to follow Lamar...

Oh there's heavy smoke. I'm sure there's probably a DM or two floating around out there. Him following Lamar is smart either way, given his connection to PVI and Takeover, but there's no benefit to following Jai if coming to Mason isn't a real possibility.

I'm sorry, but I have to remove Kim English from my list:

"In addition, guard Kim English spoke highly of Coach (Ernie) Nestor and the work the duo accomplished during the year."

Automatic disqualification. It's a good lesson for you younger guys... the things you say on social media and other places can come back to haunt you when your looking for a job. Oh well, next man up.

Posted in the GK thread but including it here too - Chris, Bryan and I talked about reactions to Dave's firing and everything going on with the program. I'm mostly spread around the A10 now but I had a lot of fun just going deep on Mason basketball again:

That’s great. Kim just seems more polished in my opinion

"polished" is a dangerous term here.

I'd say if all you've seen of them are the two interviews, you can't compare the two as they are entirely different rhetorical situations. Kim English was in a formal press conference and answering a question from the press. Tony Skinn was in an informal podcast interview with a former assistant coach talking shop. Entirely two different situations.

Another plus for Kelsey, UMass fans would lose their minds. We already have a pretty heated rivalry with them, but this would put it over the top.

Or have we already chosen English?
