I did receive this short video in October about Kiernan after making a special request. It appears very nice, but final pictures were never published to my knowledge in any of the Alum publications. Maybe this month?

My question is whether Niagara made the right decision to largely abandon its traditional recruitment base from the New York and Philadelphia metro areas. When I questioned this at NU even 20 years ago, I was told students did not want to go more than 4 hours from their home base. I also believe tha...

I think Coach Paulus can be a great advisor for him. It is obvious they have a strong relationship..

They only lose players who are not projected as starters, and have the financial resources to reload the roster every year with new ...

His appearance “on one leg” in Game 6 of the Finals is legendary.
