Welcome Kim English

When talking about players..."Any of their failures are going to fall on my shoulders"

 

[GMU_DCU]

Dennis Felton also going to be a part of staff..

And it makes even more sense when you factor in that Harrington left Mason to become the head coach at Colorado, where English ended up being an assistant.

And Haith, another Barnes protege...left Miami for Missouri which opened the gig for Larranaga in 2011.

A tangled web it is......

 

[GMU_DCU]

Still working on filling last assistant spot.

 

[JPgmuswim]

Only have 105 messages to catch up on.....Just finished watching the presser, and Kim definitely made me tear up. I’m all in.

 

[The Great PATSby]

So Coach... tell me a little more about those high caliber Big12 ACC, Pac12 players that have contacted you about wanting to transfer to George Mason.

 

[Falco]

I will be shocked if Kolek or Oduro leave after that.

I’m not sure about Kolek yet. But Oduro isn’t leaving. English really wants Oduro.

 

[MasonSAE4]

I’m in love. English as a recruiter is going to be so refreshing after years of a guy who looked like he was trying to sell you a Buick that was missing the transmission.

 

[Falco]

somebody has to tell him he doesn't belong in the Big East as a guard. I would hope one of his high school coaches or parents would give him so harsh reality.

I usually agree with you. But Kolek will be just fine anywhere he goes. He won’t be the go-to guy. But he’s a solid player.

 

[gmujim92]

I’m not sure about Kolek yet. But Oduro isn’t leaving. English really wants Oduro.

Honestly Oduro should be more in demand. 6-3 SGs are a dime a dozen — 6-9 guys with soft hands who can play away from the basket are not easy to find.

This is exactly what I wanted. A previous HC on the staff. Things are looking up!

 

[Falco]

My prediction is based on how hard English is publicly recruiting Oduro. Hundred name drops in the presser, and the insta story.

 

[mkaufman1]

So we got Dennis Felton, former HC and long time assistant. We got Nate Tomlinson who was DOBO at Colorado. I'm curious who will be the last guy. Maybe Ike Tate will become DOBO or continue as a Grad Assistant.

Bryan Washington: "We know we made the right choice. The A-10 will know it soon."

you know what? That's the thing that officially has gotten me. THAT'S the quiet confidence of somebody who knows WTF they're talking about, and doesn't need to try to sell you on it. You're gonna find out one way or the other, and they're just not stressing it.

THAT'S how you market to Herndon, and his wife.

We are saying the same thing — I think KE knows he is gonna have to fight to keep Oduro ... hopefully he gets it done.

We found common ground. Things are really changing!

Wait, Bryan Washington or Gregory Washington? Is this not from the president of the University?

Greg

Good. I know I'm a crotchety old man, and blah de blah de blah, but that's the first thing I've heard that hasn't felt a little sales-y.

That feels like confidence, which is my pleasure.
