Dameon Mason
« on: December 15, 2009, 05:24:04 PM »
Jeronne is not the first highly touted recruit to quit in the middle of the season.  Mason was more highly regarded as a recruit, played one year and produced, and was the third option for the team (Diener and Novak) in 2004-2005.

Like Maymon's situation, Crean basically recruited past Mason when he got Wes to come to MU.  Butler is going to have the three spot this year and next year, and then in two years Jones might have it.  Maymon is no 2 guard and does not realistically have a hold on the three spot on Marquette's team.   

Marquette is a consistently ranked team that went to the Final Four this past decade.  I don't know if Mason and Maymon thought they were going to come in here and be the go to guys no matter what.  I cannot imagine Crean or Buzz saying this.  All coaches qualify their promises of playing time.  I do not fully know why either one left MU, but if it was for playing time and shots, did they really think that we would not get any other 4 star recruits while they were here? 

It really would have been fun to see what the Three Amigos would have been like with a fourth amigo at guard and what Jeronne could have done playing a versatile forward spot, inside and out.  I cannot agree with quitting in the middle of a season, but everyone has to do what is best for them.  Just hope they both turn out all right.


Like Mason leaving made for a tough 04-05 and we can feel as bad for Hayward as we did for Diener. Butler is the new Novak next year to lead some really impressive looking guards and a 4 star forward in Williams. 

Also, this season is still doable to go 10-8 in conference and make the tourney.

Actually you are right.  My bad.  Here is a link to all the box scores from that year.  http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/teams/schedule?teamId=269&year=2005


Mason leaving was not as bad as Maymon then because at least Mason followed through on a comittment.  The gist was that this has happened befor and everyting turned out ok.

If this team goes 10-8 in BE, with the players on hand now, what 9?. Buzz is BE coach of year. Heck, MU is team of the year.

Did you ask him to?  Or did he sneak up on you while you were at a bar and sign your back before you noticed?

Oh, I was as giddy as a little school girl, and asked him to.

He was pretty excited, and I told him that I was excited for him to be a Golden Eagle.

His dad smiled.  It was a good day.

Oh, and I was 3 sheets to the wind.

Mason had off the court issues and was allowed to transfer to LSU.  He didn't want to leave but was caught in a compromising situation and it was the best alternative to kicking him off the team.

This my friends is a FACT and I will no go into the details.  If we are comparing Maymon to Mason then the subject of quitting should not be brought up.

Jeez, and for all those years I figured Mason left because Crean was a d-bag.  I liked my theory better.

Don't be disappointed.  Crean is still a D-Bag.

I once had a 5 min phone conversation with Mason when I was in college and met a friend of his from home at a party.  Needless to say I was also 3 sheets to the wind and he found my drunken babble quite amusing.

Jared Suechting (sp?) and Tony Brice once made me look foolish during pick up games at the Rec Center
