per FSN:
"I'm learning from two great guards," Mason said. "It only can do nothing but help. Practicing against them every day is the best thing possible."
Mason, 19, grew up in Decatur, Ga., but graduated from Arlington Country Day School in Jacksonville, Fla. As a senior there, he averaged 15.6 points and 8.7 assists per game as he earned All-City, All-County, All-Area and All-State honors as both a junior and senior. On top of that, Mason thrived in the classroom as he was valedictorian of the 2014 senior class.
Despite offers from a few other Division I schools, Mason was drawn to Minnesota. Pitino was a big reason why.
"When I came here, the coaches made me feel like it was home. I just felt comfortable with the coaches," Mason said. "(Pitino's) going to be tough on me, and that's something that I want in college -- something that I need in college to be successful."
