KANSAS JAYHAWK
FRESHMAN POINT GUARD
FRANK MASON
ALL-MET ELITE
Massanutten Military Academy
Woodstock, Va.
“I always knew I could play,” Mason says. “I always had the mind-set that I could play with anybody or anywhere.”
But maybe he didn’t quite expect this. Mason will start for No. 5 Kansas as it opens the regular season, filling in for junior Naadir Tharpe in Friday’s game against Louisiana-Monroe at Allen Fieldhouse. He’s been a rock from an effort standpoint and a focus standpoint,” Self says.
“Now we’re young and we talk about him being a point guard, which he is, but he’s never played point. He’s been asked to get 30 every game and put his head down and go score.”
That was Mason’s role while playing last season at Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Va. And that was part his role while he played alongside current KU guard Andrew White III on “Team Loaded,” a Virginia AAU program.
“When he gets comfortable and turns it loose, we’ll see another gear,” Self says. “because right now he’s kind of playing safe a little bit, which is kind of what I want him to do until he gets comfortable.”
