Welcome Justin Kier

[PoorManProfit]

Georgetown def has room and playing time available.

So we have 1 scholarship to play with, based on history my expectations aren’t high. With DP’s contract nearing the end one would hope he’s trying to land someone that can help this season.

but who is that? He lost out on the guy that could help this season. We also were not on any transfers radar so what makes you think he is going to find someone this late in the game?

one guess... Michigan?

That’s my pick

 

[mkaufman1]

Juwan Howard and Dave have a connection for many years. Can’t help but think that would only help.

curious that butler is out of the running.

No offense but there are still more than 700 players in the transfer portal and new names appear almost daily. It’s not late at all if that’s the way they want to go.

Jim you have more confidence than most in our current regime. But, can you honestly say you have confidence in Paulsen attracting a transfer that is worth a shit?

 

[PoorManProfit]

I’m sure there are many potential quality transfers still available that would love the opp to play for an underwhelming coach in an empty arena.

Hey, if we have any luck all of the arenas will be empty next year, give us a leg up.

Based on his track record, I can’t say he’s even interested in taking a transfer. If he is, there’s no reason we can’t add a player capable of contributing ... there are so many guys out there looking to change teams right now it’s crazy.

don’t we have that already?

This is a nightmare

 

[Old Man]

According to Kier's Twitter, looks like he's gone.

"this was a hard one but just wanted to say THANK YOU to @GeorgeMasonU and a bigger thank you to @MasonMBB for believing in a scrawny kid from Grottoes, VA. My four years with you guys were so special to me and the city of Fairfax will always have a place in my heart!" from @jkiiiiiii___

"The Michigan men’s basketball team has made the final cut for another graduate transfer, as George Mason graduate transfer guard Justin Kier has included the Wolverines in his final seven.

According to Stockrisers’ Jake Weingarten, Michigan joins North Carolina State, Arkansas, Georgia, Minnesota, Georgetown and Iowa State in Kier’s final group.

Kier, a 6-foot-4 guard from Grottoes, Virginia, averaged 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 2018-19. He played just nine games and made two starts this season due to injury. He also has shot 38.9 percent from 3-point range over the last two seasons on 113 attempts.

Still, Kier is better known for other parts of his game. In the 2018-19 season, Kier finished among the nation’s top 500 among qualified players in defensive rebounding rate (20.0 percent), steal rate (2.7 percent), free-throw rate (36.9 percent) and free-throw shooting percentage (76.9 percent).

Michigan, which has a scholarship available, could be in the market for a shooting guard after Josh Christopher surprised the Wolverines and committed to Arizona State last week. Last week, we mentioned Kier the first potential graduate transfer that could make sense for Michigan to pursue:"

"Michigan basketball still has one scholarship available for next season.

And the coaching staff appears to want to use it."

"If he picked Michigan, Kier would bolster a backcourt that currently features Eli Brooks, Mike Smith (a grad transfer from Columbia), Cole Bajema, Adrien Nunez and incoming freshman Zeb Jackson. Of those players, Brooks and Smith (albeit in the Ivy League) are the only two players with any significant college experience."

Best of luck, Kier. Got a little big headed it appears. Kid strung is along for 2 weeks. Paulsen more than kissed his a**. Hope we can announce a 2020 signing soon.

GSII proving to be second dumbest poster to p*triotfan on this board. First for shitting on Paulsen arguably the hardest all season, to loving him as soon as offseason started... then he guarantees Kier comes back and we don't even make his top 7 LMAO fool

Wrong again drama queen. I always knock DP for recruiting poorly. And Kier was coming back at the time I posted it. It's not our fault your peanut brain has just one gear.

Lol you posted it two days ago. We went from number one to outside the top 7 in two days? Sounds like another poster on here’s logic.

How do you get a salesman to shut up? You tell them what they want to hear. OK I'm going to buy it, I will be right back with my checkbook.

Kier never wanted to return to Mason, he just wanted a fall back plan.
