Niagara transfer Antoine Mason heading to Auburn
By Jeff Borzello | College Basketball Writer
June 11, 2014 9:52 am ET
 
Bruce Pearl continues to make an impact in his first offseason at Auburn.

Niagara transfer Antoine Mason announced on Wednesday morning that he will be playing for the Tigers next season.

Mason is eligible immediately.

The nation's leading returning scorer had dozens of schools on his list, although Auburn, Providence and Boston College emerged as the frontrunners. After visiting the Tigers last weekend, Mason was convinced.

Mason, the son of former New York Knick Anthony Mason and brother of former St. John's star Anthony Mason Jr., averaged 25.6 points last season. The 6-foot-3 guard finished his Niagara career as the school's third all-time leading scorer.
Fuuuuck yes.

This is nice, but isn't this like the 45th shooter we have picked up in the last month?

Where are the big guys?

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Agreed. But I think there was more talent already there for Gus. Percentage of team talent.

That's my question as well. It's like we are holding tryouts at guard and I think we are now two over the roster limit.

 Process?

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Good news? Bruce is processing guys.

Bad news? It was our 7ft center.

AUBURN -- The first departure since Bruce Pearl took over as coach of the Tigers has happened.

Seven-foot center Benas Griciunas has been granted a "full, unconditional release" to transfer from Auburn, a school spokesman confirmed

CBS Sports' Jeff Borzello was the first to report Griciunas, who averaged just two points and 1.8 rebounds while appearing in only 12 games, with one start, as a true freshman for Auburn last season, was leaving the program.

Pearl could not be immediately reached for comment.

During the SEC Spring Meetings two weeks ago, Pearl said he did not "anticipate" any attrition but "it's a possibility."

A member of the Lithuanian National Team, Griciunas was a three-star prospect coming out of Findlay Prep. He'll have three years of eligibility remaining.

Griciunas is the first player to transfer from the program since Pearl was hired to replace Tony Barbee.

With several new commitments to Auburn, including Niagara transfer and the leading returning scorer in the country, Antoine Mason, who committed on Wednesday, the Tigers have to clear space in order to meet the scholarship limit before the fall.

Hopefully we'll replace him with one of the MonStars.
