Welcome Kim English

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.

Ike was there today -- I'm 90% sure he is staying on as a grad assistant.

I've got a lot of thoughts and answers to some of the question's y'all posed on the boards here today -- I'm at work right now and will post them when I get home tonight.

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.

In my experience when an academic throws a verbal elbow at the competition it’s unusual and worth noting. That was him clearly putting the rest of our league on notice and I loved it.

Dare we say "Balls of English steel?"

When we sat down we talked transfers, scheduling, expectations, Brion's Grille, and a bunch more. Excited to share -- he got me pumped up. I know the By George guys will probably be pumping stuff out as well so keep an eye out there. Big day for Mason.

Was just told that Ike will still be a GA

Greg

Should have said Dr. Washington so I didn't have to remember his first name off the cuff. Was typing that fast (and got the direct quote slightly wrong anyway).

 

[JPgmuswim]

He mentioned who he feels are his core players on the current team, any chance he helps open a few extra spots to bring in some competition from some of those top conferences he mentioned.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

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

Wow. That's a nice hire.

Over a dozen years experience as a HC including six years in the SEC. Four teams taken the the NCAA tourney and two to the NIT.

Yep. When a university president says that, he means it.

He has three open spots right now even if no one leaves (meaning Oduro, Kolek, and Jordan all stay). Bring in a big, a wing with some size who can play either wing spot, and a point guard and you've got yourself a squad.

"Negativity towards current players hurts you in recruiting. If we lose a game... text a buddy your frustration, don’t tweet our players. That hurts us."

Here's hoping he never discovers this place.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

THAT'S how you market to Herndon's wife.

Duly noted sir.

Ha, ha, that's straight out of UT and the new Athletic Director/Football Coach.

"If you're upset or negative, text your buddy," White said. "Don't put it on social media."

Trust me, this place ain't got diddly-squat on the fever-swamps of Tennessee fans & social media. Let me know when MasonHoops gets a multi-million dollar MOU pulled and an AD fired.

He’s right. And I thought the same thing. Lol

That’s why I keep individual players names out of my messages......while also calling DP Dumpster Dave. Ha

Basically - we are the internet barrio of old cranky men who are slightly sober to drunk and cannot remember how to get home.

We obviously got Dave fired with that Fire Dave Paulsen thread.....give us some time.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

He has three open spots right now

Reminds me of a chick I once dated.

Ooooohhhh a thread you say? I stand corrected.

Meanwhile, ON CAMPUS PROPERTY after the MOU was signed.

Well at the very least Daddy and Calixte are gone.
