re: Antoine Mason officially transferring to Auburn (basketball)

You don't get that option with Mason. He has one year to play one. And saying he helps you win now remains to be seen. He might help you win a few more games, but it's hard to imagine that you make the tournament now just because you added Antoine Mason.

Maybe not, but it's not hard to imagine Auburn being more competitive immediately with the combination of a little more talent and much better coaching.

I just don't think basketball is as conducive to slow rebuilding most of the time. I don't know that this will solve any problem for Auburn, but I certainly think getting any additional talent is very good news for a program like ours.
