Where Are They Now?

Such a perfect example of how no real fans follow those clowns. Did anyone vote in that who has been a fan longer than 2011? I mean the creator of that twitter didn't start following the team until 2011 so I guess it should be expected...

I'd obviously have Evans in there, but I can't hate on people trying to spread hype.

False, fans since 2004 and we merely provided our followers 4 options per position and gave them an opportunity to vote for their favorite player. Our followers do tend to skew young but the vote wasn't intended to be an official scientific study but rather spark some debate over an 8 day layoff. Lighten up

Keep up the good work! But, seriously, the fans really picked Shevon Thompson over Jai Lewis for centers since 2004?

We conclude the BG Dream Team vote with arguably the deepest position Mason's had since 2004, please vote for your favorite Center:

24% Mike Morrison
35% Jai Lewis
39% Shevon Thompson
2% Darryl Monroe

Yeah, Shevon squeaked ahead by just 4%. All the centers featured had their particular strengths: Shevon-rebounding, Mike Mo- Energy/dunking, Monroe- skilled passer/consistency, Jai- really did everything well (our vote).

No need to bash By George. It's not their fault their readers are ignorant of the past.

"Standout."

"Standout."

In his freshman season (2011-12), he had 51 blocked shots in 405 minutes.

   .@MasonAthletics basketball tradition produced Vernessa Neamo (WBB) and Erik Herring (MBB) - both are #A10Legends from the Patriots.
   
   
   

http://gomason.com/news/2017/1/19/mens-basketball-herring-neamo-to-be-honored-as-a-10-legends.aspx:

"The Chicago, native left Mason with many accolades, including CAA All-Conference Player honors in 2000 (second) and 2001 and helped lead the Patriots to two CAA Championships and NCAA tournament berths (1999 and 2001) during his tenure. The 6-5 guard was named MVP in the 2001 CAA tournament.

Following college, he played semi-professional ball in the United State Basketball League (USBL), American Basketball Association (ABA) as well as professionally overseas. He works as a senior IT specialist at Drew Charter Senior Academy in Atlanta, and is in his fourth season as the head varsity basketball coach."

"The Men's Basketball Legends will be honored on Saturday, March 11 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa., prior to the 2017 Men's Basketball Championship semifinals."

At the risk of being a stickler, does anybody else feel strange about having an "A-10 Legend" for a player who never played in the A-10?

There's no requirement for the player to have played in the A10 - see http://www.atlantic10.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=31600&ATCLID=209850793:

"The Legends program was established in 2013 to recognize men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes and coaches who have made a lasting impact on their respective basketball programs and institutions."

I'm not saying anything regarding if the A-10 says it is ok. Obviously they do, or it wouldn't be in place right now. I'm just asking if it feels weird to anybody else?

 

[GMUSig03]

I think it's weird, but unavoidable with jumping conferences. I made a comment a year or so ago when I saw an ACC commercial with Larry Fitzgerald highlights in it (they had highlights of past players from every team). Fitz obviously never played in the ACC.

Didn't we get into this when the CAA did their big list a few years ago? I think some of the players from the the old ECAC days or Metro conference etc.
