According to Verbal Commits, HC just offered a 6’7” forward from Alexandria, Va named Riley Jacobs. I believe that was his 9th offer.

Jacobs and incoming frosh Tyler Boston might know each other as they are rivals from the Interstate Athletic Conference in the DC area. Jacobs is a student at St. Stephen-St. Agnes and has made first team all IAC the last two years. Not sure how many years Boston made the same team but he did this year. Jacobs sounds like mainly a paint operative and also stars in track.

From the George Mason site
Riley Jacobs
Jacobs is a 6’8 athletic forward out of Alexandria, who currently attends St. Stephens-St. Agnes. He also unofficially visited Mason this week, Friday, August 25th, and received a scholarship offer the same day.
The Alexandria native plays for New World 2025, a 3SSB team based in the DMV.
Jacobs also has a background in track and field, where he ran the 110m hurdles and did the high jump. This explains how he moves and jumps the way he does.
Riley currently has offers from Mason, Old Dominion, Bryant, Loyola Maryland, Norfolk State, George Washington, and Mount St. Mary’s while getting some interest from Xavier and UVA.
The 6’8 forward is being recruited by Coach Curran, Skinn’s top assistant, who has a history of a great eye for talent.
Jacobs is an extremely versatile player on both ends of the floor. On defense, he has extremely active hands. If the ball is near him, he’s using his length to get at it. He isn’t just a rim protector, he uses his instincts to be able to stop anything in the paint. In the event that he switches onto a guard, he can hold his own on the perimeter. When the opposing team has a fast-break opportunity, they have to play extremely safe as Riley is able to use his length, speed, and instincts to make even a three on one difficult.
The forward has surprisingly good handles for his size. He has no trouble bringing the ball up the floor and can even break down his defender from the perimeter occasionally. While he can shoot from outside, his bread and butter is paint scoring.
I could see Mason’s most recent visitor playing either the forward or big wing role, as he possesses qualities of both. His traits would definitely translate up to the A10.

The College of Charleston offered Jacobs one day after the offer from the College of the Holy Cross. Is there another College of out there? Is Bill & Mary officially called the College of William and Mary?

Many of us attended The Pakachoag College of Beer Knowledge, from which the phrase "heading for the Pak-ey" is derived.

When I was a junior in Mullady, the seniors next door were members of what they called "The Fuel Firm", they met once a week next door to contemplate the beer business. I was told one member put it in his yearbook snippet, "NROTC 4 yrs, French Club 2, Varsity baseball 2-3-4, Fuel Firm 3-4."

Here's an interesting name from that list.
Ras Elijah Godbolt
Quick internet search shows he is related to Champ, but it is unclear if it is his son or a nephew.

Interesting kid on the list is Tacco Falls son…hasn’t been playing long, but has those tall genes… I believe he is his younger brother. Tacko is 28 years old. Based on the write up in the report, I can see why you may have though it was his son. El Hadji Tacko Sereigne Diop Fall (born 10 December 1995) is a Senegalese professional basketball player for the Piratas de Quebradillas of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN). He has previously played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers.

It makes sense since they just had the team on campus for a month.
My guess is they have a better idea today of what talent they have on the roster, how the pieces might come together as a team, and the needs for the future.
For the first time in many years we are building a team with complementary pieces, and not filling a roster with the best available player.
