Kim English got a very warm welcome from Mason Nation. I didn’t see a single negative thing said about the man. I didn’t see any fans expressing doubt in the hire. Everyone appears to be equally as excited as myself, I can’t contain it. English has 50k followers on Twitter, that’s a day 1 win for the program alone. I saw so many people congratulating him. His former teammates tweeted at him, his former coaches, his current recruits, local celebrities and a ton of Missouri and Tennessee fans also reached out to him.
Love you coach🖤🤞🏾 https://t.co/8qCRzRmrdZ

I’ll never forget the game that a freshman named Kim English had against Marquette to take us to the Sweet 16. Feels like a lifetime ago (I’m old because I had just graduated from Mizzou a few months before that tourney run)

Look at Mason’s announcement tweet, it has over 3,000 likes. The activity surrounding this hire was the jolt this fan base needed. We were just dragging our feet 2 weeks ago, now we’re doing the dougie.
Kennedy Chandler and English even exchanged “I love yous,” it almost made me emotional. English, from the outside looking in, seems extremely loved and has a ton of people in his corner. We welcome those people to our corner, Fairfax VIRGINIA BABY!
