I dare anyone not to take real pause after reading amazing story about Lion basketball freshman start Kyle Castlin.
I also dare anyone to continue harboring anti-athletics sentiments when you see what this kid had to overcome to make it to Columbia.
Hopefully, this story will lead to some real justice for Kyle and his family.
But I humbled by his ability to succeed so tremendously in the interim.

I read the story; incredible. Best freshman in the Ivies and a future POY. 4.23 GPA coming out of high school. As a semi-regular at our basketball games I can tell you that he is the real deal. During the Kentucky game he really showed his talent.
I am a real Old Lion having gone to my first Columbia basketball game in 1942 at age 7. This may be the most beautiful story I have read in years. I finally stopped crying. God bless you & your family. Justice has been served.
If I were more technologically adept I would post this on Voyforums.
Saw the Harvard game last night. The kid is a winner. Looks to me like we are one 6' 7" non-white player away from being ready to take an Ivy crown.
