[O's are Legends]

Mason has a pretty sick OOC schedule building up for next year. In addition to playing Creighton and Dayton at home, George Mason to play in the 2009 Puerto Rico Tip-Off and will play 3 games in a tournament ft. UAB, Dayton, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Kansas State, Villanova and supposedly Mississippi State.

Chance to get some nice wins in an early pre-conference tournament like we did in 2007-2008. (Old Spice classic) – can’t wait for next season, thank goodness for baseball.

Hey can you show a link or provide some info on their incoming freshman class? It sounds like they'll have six strong players coming back: Long, Cornelious, Morrison, Birdsong, Tate, Pearson (I think that's his name).

Sherrod Wright to Mason?

He was the No. 27 SG in the Class of 2009 and ranked No. 101 in the Rivals 150.

Stepping out of the background and into the spotlight is Westchester's newly crowned Mr. Basketball, Sherrod Wright.

The Mount Vernon Knights season has ended but Wright's recruitment process has picked up steam. In November, he took his first official visit to South Carolina. In March, he took another official visit to George Mason. With the April 13th signing deadline quickly approaching, Wright plans on squeezing in another one or possibly two more visits." I will most likely visit UCF on the 9th," said Wright.

Right now, the cards are stacked in his favor. "I already have offers from George Mason, Oklahoma State, Fordham, UCF, South Carolina, Cincinnati, North Carolina Charlotte, Marquette and Providence," says Wright.

Wow! That Johnnie Williams wrap up is pretty exciting! Coach L is really leveraging that Final Four appearance into some terrific recruiting. Mason has to be the favorites next year in the CAA.
