Mason has a pretty good PG Baraka Okojie who just finished his FR year.
He torched us and seems to be slotted in as their starter next year. So much so Polite the veteran PG transferred out. I don't think that is a likely landing spot either if he wanted to go elsewhere.

Re: '20 G Jaden House (High Point -> URI)
You kinda need both. Best teams have their best players also be their best leaders/hardest workers.
A team full of TJ Buchanan's isn't going to win a lot of games either. Hopefully the staff can bring in some high character kids who can also play.
