Good luck to you Therence, keep working hard and you'll be fine.

Totally ridiculous. Best of luck, Therence. I obviously hope you are able to stay in school at Mason, if you can find a way to play elsewhere (NAIA) then best of luck and prove 'em wrong!

no.
NWF State College is the defending NJCAA national champions. That is where Moustapha Diagne went as well (the Syracuse commit that the NCAA refused to clear due to questions about his coursework in his native Senegal).
The optimist in me says that Mayimba spends 2 years in JuCo, earns his associates degree to get the NCAA off his nutsack, then comes to Mason for his final 2 years and helps us make the Sweet 16 as a senior.
Oh wait. That was my inner meth-head talking.

Not sure that is possible since he would be 4 years out from his high school graduation date...wouldn't he be out of eligibility by then? Or only have 1 year? Not that it matters because it is already apparent he will never suit up at Mason.
Pretty clear I was making a lame attempt at a joke.
But just in case somebody wants to seriously consider this, Mayimba already has two semesters of college coursework under his belt. Depending on how many of his credits transfer, it's conceivable that he could earn his associates after 1 year at NWF.
Considering that the NCAA allows 5 years from HS graduation to complete your degree, I read that as he'd have 3 years of eligibility remaining.
I don't know whether something changes when you spend a year in a 4-year school before you go to a JUCO. It's obviously a highly unusual situation.
Regardless, it's extremely unlikely that he winds up back at Mason. DP doesn't seem to be a guy who is interested in recruiting JUCOs. Too bad.
Given how lumpy out class sizes are getting, unless they even themselves out via redshirts this season, Paulsen may want to take on a couple of JUCOs or transfers for the 2016-17 season, to give Marquise and Jalen some extra help for their senior seasons.

I knew it was a joke, but not everyone here may realize it so I figured I'd put any thought of it to rest.
He isn't playing at Mason unless he's in town for a pick up game....
Shouldn't the 5 year rule not apply since the NCAA apparently doesn't consider his HS diploma to be valid enough to clear him? (sarcasm)

Definitely one of the best players I never saw...
Good for him.
Bleep the NCAA.
Bleep the NCAA.
Even though he never suited up for us, it's gonna sting when we're watching Therence on TV playing for some major program two years from now.
That's a loaded roster at NWF. He certainly will get plenty of attention from D-I coaches during his time there.
Too bad.
EDIT: Also noticed that, unlike the other college transfers on the roster, his bio doesn't mention Mason. He's probably trying to forget that he once signed up to play for the dumbass.

I have a feeling Mayimba is never suiting up for a D-1 program.....

He might do what NWF State's Brandon Austin did and play a couple years of JUCO and then go pro, either NBA, or more likely Europe.
Why exactly?
They are sticklers for you being able to prove who you say you are.
Other than that, I mean.
