George Mason’s sharpshooting two-way guard with winning pedigree
In the 2000-01 season, Erik Herring was a polished, high-minute George Mason guard who averaged 16.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 40.2% from three, giving the Patriots a reliable shot-maker with real two-way value. He was a 2x All-CAA selection and the 2001 CAA Tournament MVP, and his game stands out for spacing the floor, steady production, and big-game poise—exactly the kind of guard who helps a team in pressure moments, not just box scores.
