Jon Rothstein visits George Mason practice

Jon Rothstein, of CBS Sports, is a great college hoops insider and analyst to follow. He isn't BCS biased and will go into detail describing good squads, regardless of which conference they are in. He recently visited Drexel and today he was in Fairfax to observe a George Mason practice:

Settling in here at George Mason practice. Looking forward to getting a glimpse of the Patriots new look front court.

The biggest thing jumping out early from George Mason? Team depth. Paul Hewitt has a slew of options. Could easily play 10 guys.

Loving the upside of George Mason stretch four Marko Gujanicic. 6-9 freshman is going to be a matchup nightmare in the CAA.

Paul Hewitt definitely has the numbers to accelerate the pace with this group. Mason built to run.

Jonathan Arledge showing serious range from 3 today. Should have a big jump in production with more minutes.

Role allocation still not set for George Mason. Will be an evolving process throughout the season. Only Erik Copes looks cemented.

Former Cardinal Hayes product Jalen Jenkins is making an impression with his ball handling. Incredibly skilled for 6-7. Talented.

Pencil in George Mason big man Erik Copes for 12 and 8. Should be All-CAA as a sophomore. More production w starter's minutes.

George Mason will be an inside-out team. Key to their season will be back court play. Front line is solid.

Early prediction on George Mason starting five -- Bryon Allen, Vertrail Vaughns, Sherrod Wright, Jonathan Arledge, Erik Copes....

So much Nikola Dragovic (UCLA 2009) in Marko Gujanicic.....
