Coaching staff on Mason: "A.J. is a local talent with strong ties to MoWest. Both of his parents are alumni — his dad played basketball here, and his mom was on the dance team. On the court, A.J. is a fun player to watch. He's tough, competitive, and wants to pick up full court every possession. Offensively, he's a true point guard who makes everyone around him better."
