GW's back yard. Maybe they're counting on Richmond bolting.
(staying in the east)...he went up late, and I was already up there.

When Fordham goes to a final four then you can say GM is like Fordham. GM is nothing like Fordham. They are a decent team that will stay around or above 500'inthe league. I like the pickup

Until they dump Fordham, nothing else they do matters.

This doesn't surprise me at all - wasn't George Mason the runner-up in the Temple/Charlotte) replacements??

If they get rid of Paul Hewitt, they may rise to the level of being half way decent again.
Two years ago, Jim Larranaga was coaching George Mason. They finished the regular season ranked in the top 25, made the NCAA Tournament as a #8 seed, and won a game.
They had all their starters returning the following year and seemed poised to be a top twenty team. The problem was that they lost Larranaga and added Paul Hewitt. He took over a very good program that was trending up and whose cupboards were stuffed full, and completely wrecked them. They should have easily been a tournament caliber team who was well in position to get an at-large the past two years, and they fell a few hundred miles short of that.
It's a recognizable brand name, but I think their program is in bad shape with no signs of getting better. They have potential, but they need the right personnel, and right now they just don't have it. It's not the worst choice in the world, but it's far from a slam dunk."You can't fix stupid." Ron White

GM is a one year wonder. Other than that, like Fordham, they are nondescript.
George Mason is yesterday's news. At this point, they are no more of a name than Jacksonville University, who also made a Final 4..in 1970.
Butler and VCU have pushed Mason off the Cinderella podium."I Got CHAMPIONS in that Lockerroom!" -Stanley Burrell
