Vermont’s Stef Smith to St John’s.
George Mason’s Greg Calixte to Bryant.

Morsell, an athletic shooting guard, and Josh Carlton, an athletic forward/center, would be perfect fits at GW. The fact that both of them didn't get a lot of playing time makes them perfect candidates to transfer down as they've already experienced the ills of being recruited over and their coach not giving them a chance.
Kim English being hired by George Mason could be an obstacle in the way of GW signing some of the local BCS players looking to transfer down. For whatever reason, Paulsen didn't like bringing in a lot of transfers. I'm going to assume that K.English(who played and assisted at BCS schools) will be 'All In' on bringing in local guys like Morsell, Carlton, Jay Heath and other local players who will enter the transfer protocol.

#60 in his high school class, the same one that had Luka Garza tied for 93rd. So, there's that.
A role player who can definitely fill an important role on this team. Sounds promising.

Looks like his best game this past season was against USC where he put up 6 points (4-5 from FT line) and 9 rebounds in 16 minutes.

Nice!!!
I’ve always liked Ira Lee. Never quite put it together enough to be a star (or starter, though he started a lot as a sophomore). He always had a bit of a TO and fouling problem, but his rebounding and block rates are OUTSTANDING!
He’s going to improve our defense and rebounding immensely, and he can hit a mid range jump shot when his man collapses on Bishop.
I know it’s only one year, but I like this! Nice job.

Can he play? Will he and enough guys stick around long enough to win 10 games in conference?

He’s not going to be a big time scorer, but he also doesn’t need the ball to be effective. Kid can really rebound, which is something we desperately need.

Honestly, that sounds like exactly what we need. If he's as good of a rebounder/defender as you say he is it's a big hole filled.

Fine signing-I just hope it’s not what gwrising has been hyping as us to get excited about.

Fabulous. I agree. D and rebounding point the way to eventually GW being hard to play against

One of biggest issues last season was post defense and interior rebounding especially when Moyer went down. Lee is a load in the post. Why wouldn't you be excited about him? He makes us better! But there are others in the pipeline. Let's look at the whole picture. I think you will be excited then. More to come.

Welcome Ira, enjoy your time grabbing some boards!
