John's Bio

A little about myself: My name is John Friel, I'm going into my second year at Florida Atlantic University. I am currently majoring in communications and journalism. As far as a career goes, I am looking into something that involves sports. As a writer, I would love to write for the Miami Herald and cover all South Florida sports or as a member of the ESPN team, I am looking to intern in a few years at the location in Connecticut.

I am a huge fan of all South Florida teams, Heat, Dolphins, Panthers, Marlins, Hurricanes, Owls, and I have been following the most of them for as long as I can remember. I am here to spread my opinion across the interweb and inform everyone of South Florida sports and most preferably the NBA.

I would like to thank CBSSports.com for featuring my "Who will be the next LeBron" article on their website.
