I prefer to evaluate last year as he wasn't being used properly - put in positions to fail So I guess the HC put him position to be successful this year? Lmao....or, how about he wasn't very good his first two years, worked hard, and got better?? Imagine that! The player taking blame for his shortcomings, and credit for his successes! My bad, obviously our Coach "Wooden" invested "all" of his energies into developing Evan and it seems to have worked - I love the way "Woodie" kept Evan's shortcomings hidden as he praised the kid from day one for the same things that have finally "developed" (sort of like an exposed film that has to have its image uncovered by "chemistry" before that image can be seen). Evan talks on the court as much as he ever did (one of the things that impressed me from the first practice I saw him at his Freshman year), guess "Woodie" finally hears him easier in the smaller TUC crowds...

Congratulation to Evan. His hard work both on the court and in the classroom are paying off for him. An excellent example of the complete "Student Athlete".

Despite naysayers, Fisher has done extremely well.And he has become a VERY vocal leader on the court. Well done kid!

What the hell did Degnan do (or not) while sitting on the bench? Another curve ball. But hindsight is always a great quarterback. These two should have been the captains in the first place. (Nothing against Degnan- don't know anything about the kid)

I don't think at the beginning it was bad.From all accounts in the spring Degnan was doing good in workouts therefore that's why.And Nico being named captain.Also remember Smithen was coming back off the shoulder surgery.But i also heard he's been a good leader.So that's probably why the decision known.But hey I'm just guessing.

Interesting contrast that you have Evan, who despite his shortcomings, through hard work, passion and sheer determination has made himself a very big role player on our team and you have Nico who has so much God given ability yet was unable to block out the distractions, harness that talent and put it all together on the court. I wish him well and hope he find's the avenue in life that will spark that passion. I suspect Evan would have given his right arm for Nico's natural athletic ability.

Yep, sometimes it just is that way. Think about Edwin and say Kyle Downey; one with all the talent in the world and one who worked his ass off every minute of every single day. But isn't that life??? Usually the one with all the talent is regretful about 20 years too late. Youth is wasted on the young.

Yes, it is truly a shame that Downey didn't have the restraint and shot selection that Edwin had.

Edwin had 4 to 5 others to shoot..kyle in rhe Mitch years not so.

Fisher is focused despite all the crap that went on today..
Evan Fisher on playing Iona, which beat the Saints in last year’s MAAC final: “We haven’t forgotten about it and Iona’s won it the last two years, and so I’d say Iona’s the standard and we need to beat them.”

First was Rob Poole, transitioned to Brett, now it is Evan Fisher.
