Autuaga Academy is a pretty unimpressive school, small classification with very few players period with a notable collegiate future. Even with Howard last year, they didn't get that much more publicity.

Looks like Mason is is taking a page out of Stanford's book, finding a big body and mold him into something.

Still I would think the press of the 2013 year would at least get him some looks new scouts, coaches and others whod've been thee fro OJ bus hut souled more oline to scout them, especially while OJ was there as Tindol would've been a Jr. when the OK+J madness was in full bloom, he like would've been watched too and that's the money year for HS players. But good recruits go unrecognized every single cycle. It's just super odd that his coach only sent out his tape this Saturday and he only got an offer the day before signing day. Who knows why, I just find the Jr. year being less than stellar and Tindol being a late bloomer a plausible reason for him being overlooked if he's a decent to good player.

But again but you have to admit it makes sense that it might've been his junior year that hurt him (recruiters and scouts seem obsessed on that year no matter the circumstance. JMO.

Mason should, given his experience, live up to the idea that he can spot talent and I hope for Vandy's sake he does.

I just love any 2* ready to take the world by storm. Hope hs sticks and plays well for them.

I remember never knowing what to think about OJ Howard since he played there. Clearly he was athletic but I didn't know for sure if it just was playing with a bunch of unathletic kids
