Northeastern (Senior Day)
I want to take this time to thank our outgoing seniors Troy Harper, Trevor John, and Kevin Doi. With any group of players there are positives and negatives, but we are going to focus on the positives here. Their contributions to the program have been felt and it is greatly appreciated as Spiker and his team continue to take steps forward with the ultimate goal of reaching the NCAA's.
Troy Harper:
For the past 2 years he has been a ball of energy and a spark for our team. He has always given it his all while on the court and motivates the players. It always seemed like the team responded well to him. He has scored a lot of points for us, even when scoring was a struggle. He is one of the best in the country at drawing contact and making teams pay for the contact. We won't forget all of the comebacks that likely would not have happened with Troy's efforts and energy.
Trevor John:
What more could you possibly have asked for from a graduate transfer in 1 year with the program? He came in and was a veteran leader out of the gate. This was very important for such a young squad. They needed that leadership and he has provided it. We have had a lot of transfers into Drexel over the years. He is at the top of the list. The graduate transfer rule has hurt smaller programs as they build up good players and they leave for greener pastures, this is a case where we were able to end up on the good end of this rule. Hopefully his success and the teams progression can lead to us landing more quality graduate transfers when needed. Trevor will leave our program as the single season record holder for 3 pointers made. Wow.
Kevin Doi:
Kevin filled a need on our roster when we needed bodies. He may not play many minutes but when he does get his chance he has shown his abilities. He is always positive on the bench and appears to work hard and understand his role. We won't forget his game against Towson, when everything else went so poorly, he was our lone bright spot.
Best of luck to all of these guys in their future endeavors, whether that includes basketball overseas, getting into coaching, or going into the workforce as a normal citizen. I wish all of the guys the best of luck and appreciate everything they have done in their times as a Dragon. Hopefully everyone comes out Saturday to recognize and support these guys. Once a Dragon, Always a Dragon.
