Goodbye Ronald Polite

[gmubrian]

Ummm...can we talk about Ronny's vertical. Dude's almost at the top of the backboard. Coach Felton tweeted this and mentioned hip surgery from last year. I know a lot have started to lose faith in him, but I don't think we've seen his full potential yet.

It is really impressive. Hoping for a breakout year for him.

I couldn't get that high if used that table looking thing from the pic to leap from...

I'm very curious to see what Polite looks like after a fully healthy offseason, and once he's a year farther removed from surgery. Some of the people criticizing him were the same ones that wrote off Oduro. Let's see if he can unlock his potential.

It would be more impressive if he could make three-pointers

to be fair to myself I wrote off Oduro before he stepped on campus... Polite is a 3rd year junior but I digress

I remember plenty of people dogging Oduro even after his freshman season.

Ronny Polite is coming back, he just announced on Twitter.

Like Malik, this will be his third coach. That’s incredible loyalty to Mason and the mens basketball program.

He is the key to so many things, and I’m hoping for him to put in a lot of work, stays healthy, and takes the next steps to improve his craft.

Like Malik, I think Ronny will thrive in an up-tempo system where he can get downhill and make plays instead of spending most of his time orchestrating a halfcourt offense. Getting our starting PG back is a massive W for Tony as he goes about trying to rebuild the roster.

I can’t wait to see TBD in action, but I’m a little concerned about TBD.

Welcome back Ronny!!

The 6' 7" TBD septuplets are the result of the greatest-of-all-time efforts in Mason recruiting history. Let's hope none of them redshirt.

You are on a roll. Mind sharing what you've been drinking?

Well played!!!! LMAO.

This is absolutely massive. Keeping our staring PG and (at times) best player will allow us to keep some of the end of year momentum we saw going-- along with super athletic hype man Malik Henry.

Ronnie proved something very important last year: he is clutch. And you CAN'T COACH CLUTCH!! Not the best FT shooter, but he hits them when we really needed. Not the best shooter, but he'll knock a triple when its winning time, i.e. Richmond game in Brooklyn.

Looking forward to 2 more years of Mr. Ronald Polite.

79% FT shooter ain’t too shabby (he shot 80% his sophomore season). 36.4% 3 point shooting on decent volume last year. Not eye-popping but definitely effective.
