Smells like a PR coup for Mason in terms of diversity if we can land him.....

he's in the A10. can't transfer within the conference. He should transfer to Hofstra. I hear they are full of Pride.

Well, I would think that being the first openly gay basketball player, that his comfort at a diverse school would far outweigh conference affiliation.

How dare you suggest he be treated like every other player!

Glad to get an update on this. Is he still gay?

I thought his comments were douchey. Everyone's so great to me. They're my family. They're awesome. But they don't win enough, so I'm leaving.
