Thursday morning, rumors emerged via Twitter that junior forward Luke Hancock was "expected to transfer."

Hours later, it became clear that the rumor was not entirely accurate.

The rumor began after Brian Mull, a beat writer for UNCW who also covers CAA basketball, Tweeted, “George Mason guard Luke Hancock is expected to transfer. #caahoops.”

Hancock responded with a Tweet of his own yesterday around 2 p.m., saying "Who is brian mull anyways??"
