Welcome Troy Temara

[liem.le.3388]

The 6'9 sf/pf tag kind of scares me after the Hewitt years.

He's signing in April

He's signing in April

What's the reason for a player signing in April vs now? I'm not too sure about the whole process so does this essentially mean he's keeping his options open?

I'm not sure. I asked him when he said April. Maybe it's because that's when HS season ends?

Might need to sure up his academics to make sure he is eligible before signing.

Let's not pretend this is anything other than him holding just in case a better situation presents itself. I don't blame any HS kid who does this, absolutely no point in signing an NLI

I can assure you categorically that this is 100 percent false. Troy is all-in for Mason.

I was REALLY hoping to hear that kind of reply.

I don't believe this has been mentioned in any detail, but Troy's older brother Shane is playing JuCo hoops

Great statement based on zero facts. I'm glad you stalk a 17 year old's twitter and facebook but be real.

I've never stalked anyone on Twitter. Wouldn't know how to do so if I wanted to.

Not friends with him on Facebook, either.

Nice try, though.

As far as "facts" go, it will all come out in due time.

I have never guaranteed that Troy or any of our other recruits will suit up for Mason. Just know that if he doesn't, it has nothing to do with him looking for a "better" opportunity.

 

[MasonCrew]

So... he's not the sharpest tool in the shed?

Never said that, either.

What he is, is a Mason commit and a very promising young man we should all want to see in green and gold.

Sorry if I sound like the town scold, but let's not make stuff harder for our coaching staff by posting stupid stuff on our own board.

 

[MasonFanatic]

Why is it any of our business why he's waiting until April? I mean, seriously...

I agree, can't wait to see him suit up. Plenty of opportunity for the forward position next season.

I can assure you categorically that this is 100 percent false. Troy is all-in for Mason.

So, is he all-in for Mason, but may do a post-grad year somewhere per your prior post?

"From what I've heard, Troy might do a post-grad year somewhere. No idea if that is actually the case -- and if it is, what impact that would have on his commitment to Mason (and vice versa).

But it might explain why he didn't sign today when the 3 guards did.

If Temara is not in our 2016 class, that means the staff still has 2 scholarships to fill."

Ooooh, Pablo with the Gotcha! You ought to be in my line of work if you aren't already.

BTW, that post is history now so you can edit yours, too.

Yup, also highlighted some of his dope Vine drills lol http://giantkiller.co/2015/09/21/george-mason-gets-their-first-2016-commit-troy-temara/

 

[GiantKiller_Co]

The class of 2020 seem pretty bought into coming to Mason. Unless a power 5 comes along I doubt I see Troy going somewhere else. https://twitter.com/IanBoyd5/status/662087883818405888
