Fantastic story about Kier's upbringing in Virginia and his devotion to his ailing mother.

Anyway...

Great article about a wonderful person. It's great to see we have good people who truly deserve to wear the green and gold. This article along with the one about Jaier from a month or two ago, makes me even prouder of this team.

You can say what you want about Paulsen not recruiting players with stars but all of the kids he has brought in seem to have great character and represent Mason well.

Beautiful story. Really puts the importance of basketball in perspective.

Wow! Justin has such a special family, and it expanded even more the day he signed with our program. Great story and article.

I never thought I would use "ignore," but it has made these boards much more readable. I'm all for dissenting opinions if they are truly one's opinion, not just something for the sake of contradiction.

sorry for the trolls guys.

The trolls have pretty much ruined the boards for me.

Make Masonhoops Great Again!

Back from the dead, I see? It was so quiet here the past few days. Your self-imposed banishment didn't last a week. Glad you're back to entertain us!

Paulsen recruits great character guys who are easy to root for. Still can't believe JMU barely looked at him!

In today's print edition at the bottom of the front page (A1), the Post has a small picture of Justin and his grandmother and a headline indicated the full story in the sports page. With the picture blown up, the article covers a full half-page.

Although not related to Justin's story, without mentioning Doc Nix by name, there is also a Post story on Doc's late grandfather being named to the Rose Bowl hall of fame.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we are lucky to have a sports reporter like Steve Goff at The Washington Post who occasionally is asked to cover us (hopefully more often in the future). Great story.
