This season: 15.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.
How he got here: A native of Georgia who played his senior year in Florida, Mason picked the Gophers over Kansas State and Virginia.
Bossi’s take: For much of his high school career, Mason was in and out of the rankings and my counterpart Dan McDonald wasn’t happy with me for electing to leave Mason out of the final 2014 Rivals150. He thought he was too good of a scorer, and I worried he was a bit small and had too wild of shot selection to be an effective Big Ten player. Dan was right, I was wrong. Mason has improved each year in Minneapolis and has also become a dramatically better playmaker for others. He’ll go down as one of the most important recruits of Richard Pitino’s tenure at Minnesota.
