About Justin »

Sports have always been a passion of mine, basketball in particular is my favorite sport to play, watch, and cover which includes high school, college, and the NBA. I also enjoy college and pro football, baseball, golf, tennis, soccer, and many others. I am a contributor and player scout for ACCBasketballrecruiting.com as well as a new site that will be up soon, basketballelite.com

I have an undergraduate degree in Communications, currently working on my Master's Degree in Professional Communication and Sports Management.

If you would like to contact me my email is: jashockley@gmail.com

As President of the Les Miles Fan Club I took a big hit on Saturday Night but is Les really on the Hot Seat?

I'd appreciate your feedback and I hope you like it, if you find me worthy!

Thanks in advance. - HB

Hi Justin, how are you?

I wrote a very personal, hopefully heart warming account of my coming to grips with my team’s loss in the NCAA round of Sweet 16.

Check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks.

Hey Justin. I'm glad you liked it. That was very close to my heart since my dad had two daughters and I ended up being the "son" he never had. Of course now he has one on the way that hopefully won't love football and wear makeup. ;)

I will definitely let you know when I get a new one up and you do the same. :)

Have a good night/morning,
Cameon

Well, I liked you until you said you were a Florida fan. :) Glad you liked the article. I will definitely check out yours as soon as I get a chance. I'm home bound for at least a week with B/R as my only time consumer. :)

I read the piece yesterday actually. Very well said, great research, great depth. Wish we had articles like that all season constantly coming out all season by more than a few handful of writers in CBB. Great job.

Hey Justin! I was glad to take a look at your latest piece. You did a great job! Well written! As far as edits, I only made some very, very minor suggestions regarding grammar (adding in some omitted words) and punctuation. Keep up the great work! If you need my assistance, always feel free to leave me a post, have a great day!

Decided to make a rare write-up on the article about the Yankees, as I feel some of the fans want to use their great past as an excuse for their not as successful present. Check out my latest piece on why Yankee fans need to talk about the present, not the past.
