Shane Larkin, who is son of former Cincinnati Reds shortstop Barry Larkin, has been on Larranaga and his staff's radar for some time as a highly touted prospect. Shane and his father (pictured above) where present last night at Mason Madness along with several other recruiting prospects. Most fans don't know this but the whole Midnight Madness tradition around college hoops these days has a lot to do about recruiting. Schools get to showcase the type of atmosphere the recruits can expect if they commit to the program. It can end up being an important visit for schools before the November signing period.

This won't happen, there were two other prospects at Midnight Madness Friday night and both of them gave verbals to Mason. Larkin has removed Mason from his list.

From one of the twitter feeds I follow: Shane Larkin, a 2011 Point Guard from Florida, is no longer considering George Mason. Larkin is down to DePaul, USF, Colorado & UCF.
