Mayo can defend, will get you a loose ball and is physically rugged. I think he’s a winning player as long as he isn’t asked to do too much from a scoring standpoint.

Yes but his shooting percentages went up significantly this year compared to his freshman year. So it's a good sign that he's developing on the offensive end too

The women's team just signed a guard from Sweden. We need one on the men's team, Ali Dibba who just visited. 😀

A lot of his scoring comes from inside the lane. He is what many folks would call a junk yard dawg. He's a very tough slasher that can finish with either hand and finish after contact. At 6'3" he takes on the trees inside. He'll never be a big scorer but does a lot of little things and has a high basketball IQ. I think he can be a 7 or 8 ppg guy who gets steals, rebounds, plays good defense and is small, yet athletic. I would be happy to hear he and Davis will be Salukis next year!

We had a lot of those type of players in the 2000s that were the unsung heroes of those teams! Can't wait for us to get back to that level

Mayo would be a good addition.  He’s probably the best player we’re after even if the stats don’t look that way.  Very good defender and underrated offense.  Him and Kennard would be a fun duo of Davis stays.

I would say Mayo is much more like Tyrone Green than Lamar Owen. He reminds me a lot of Green, except he's right handed. However, I think his upside is better than Tyrone's was.

With a dash of Wesley Clemmons

Sounds a lot like a former Butler player I remember watching a few years ago!!  Come to think of it, I am pretty sure Will Veasley is a Saluki Assistant now!!  Ha!

@foxman24 I have a memory of Owen’s wearing his socks all the way up.

"when you are playing the limited minutes he was playing and the production he had and his efficiencies, it’s pretty insane.”  - At least we weren't the only ones to see it.  It's a real shame the previous staff didn't.  I think he is, and UWGB are, going to be breakouts this year.
