And D1 benches are filled with... checks notes... 10+ D1 players...
Cotton had 6 D1 offers, Vice had 10, and Mason had 12. You're not going to convince me neither of the 3 are capable of carving out a role on a D1 roster. It's more likely Hodge didn't want to prioritize developing them. Maybe he was already hearing via his agent that bigger programs were sniffing around so Hodge knew he needed to win now which meant focusing on experienced D1 players over the younger guys.
Whatever the reason, it's behind us now. It seems coach Robinson is willing to give young guys an opportunity. I'm excited to see what this program will look like in a year or two under his leadership.
Stone was good on defense but an offensive liability. We were playing 4 on 5 when we had the ball.
Mason had 4 times the offensive ability of Stone, and if only half the defense, it would be worth it to put Mason on the floor instead.
