Mason gets another early signing

Welcome to George Mason Paris Bennett. The Patriots were able to get another early signing for their recruiting class of 2009. Paris is a 6'6" forward who might end up playing at the 3 or 4 spot. Being that he is somewhere between 190- 220 lbs according to some sites, I think he will probably end up playing more of a power forward role. As a sophomore he was once ranked as the #47 player in the country at hoopscooponline.com. Here is more detailed account of his capabilities from ESPN's recruiting site:

"Bennett is a combo-forward who presents mismatch problems for his team. With the ability to take defenders to the low block and score with his back to the basket or stretch opposing defenses all the way to the three-point line, he is a difficult match-up for most defenders. The two biggest question marks that surround him are in regards to his attitude and position. He goes through periods of immaturity where he doesn't always play hard and demonstrates poor body language. In terms of his position at the next level, he may lack both a four man's length as well as a three man's quickness. Physically, he does have the potential to eventually have a terrific body. He has a naturally strong frame with wide shoulders that could be easily chiseled given the time in the weight room. He is also pretty crafty with the ball and has a good natural feel for the game. Ultimately, he is a mid to high major talent who should have an excellent college career if he can get out of his own way."
