Mason Williams commits to ISU

Big fan of this pickup. A little under the radar but he analytically profiles similarly to CuJo at Buffalo and visually his game reminds me of a mix between Curtis and Keshon. A late bloomer and really came on strong the back half of the year.

Would hope they're going big game hunting with the next couple schollies, though.

Other than Cluff, I would expect us to continue to look for "hidden gems" in the portal rather than bidding top dollar for the guys in the Top 50.

There almost always seems to be a prior connection between the staff and a kid when they transfer in - which makes sense, you can't build a relationship and really judge if someone is going to "fit" culturally in 2 days.

I wonder if Mason is someone that TJ knew of, or has a connection with, from his days at Washington

It looks like he missed around a month early in the season, probably injury. He had a good game against Mizzou. Hopefully he is more efficient with better surrounding players.

Seems like a good depth pickup. Hopefully develop into a CuJo type role! Seems like he needs to work on ball control though. I know stats don't show everything, but just quickly looking through his game logs last year I had some flashbacks to a couple Keshon games this year...had an 8 TO game :oops:. Averaged more turnovers than assists.

Maybe if he doesn't have to be THE guy that number will correct itself. Love seeing the great FT %.
 
Some masons lay a bunch of bricks. This one has the potential to be sooo much better. Welcome to the Cyclones Mason Williams!
