Sherrod Wright took an official visit to George Mason from Thursday-Saturday and said he’s been getting the most love from George Mason and Central Florida.
“Central Florida and George Mason are showing me the most,” said Wright, the 6-foot-4 wing from Mount Vernon (N.Y.) High.
Wright said he wasn’t certain whether he would take a visit to Central Florida April 9, or if he would visit any other schools.
“I should be planning one but I’m not sure,” he said. “We didn’t set one yet.”
Wright said he also hears from Seton Hall and Hofstra, but not as much.
“I’m just hearing them out basically,” he said.
As for the Mason visit, it went well.
“It was good,” he said. “I really enjoyed it. I played a couple fullcourts with the team. I met the team. I met the academic adviser, the head of the Engineering department. I’m thinking about majoring in that or Communications.”
Wright said he also likes Mason’s style of play.
“I like how they play,” he said. “They have a run and gun offense. They play three guards. They get up and down. I”ll most likely play the two.”
He said he plans to pick a school “where I feel comfortable, where I trust the coaches, where I’m sure they’re going to push me to my limit.”
He hopes to make that decision by the late signing period beginning April 15.
“I’ll probably decide by April 15th,” he said.

Go to UCF, hot borads, hot weather…you and Keith Clanton could bring the Knights back to the tournament.

Gosh that sounds awesome! All the heat and humidity of a Florida Summer, but none of that annoying beach nearby to worry about. Best of all, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy it w/a UCF quick exit from the Conf USA tourney and no post-season. He could enjoy it w/all those Golden Knight Borads while earning his degree in hotel/restaurant management.
Or of course he could also come to Mason. Get a great education. Be smack-dab in the middle of one of the world’s great technology and communications capitols. Fill a needed role on the team and see early playing time for one the country’s top coaches and programs. And be virtually guaranteed to go to multiple NCAA tourneys. That’s a possibility too.
When’s the last time UCF went to the Final Four?
