‘Thrown in the fire,’ TCU freshman Fisher holding up in Big 12

The first thing Jamie Dixon needed at TCU is the first thing any basketball coach needs — a point guard.

He remembered Jaylen Fisher’s name.

“My assistants had pointed him out to me at Pittsburgh,” Dixon said. “We tried to get involved with him early on. Was well aware of him.”

When Dixon made his move to TCU, he and Fisher reconnected thanks to assistant Ryan Miller, who was hired from UNLV, where Fisher had committed.

That was that. Dixon had his point guard, a cornerstone of the budding rebuild of Horned Frogs basketball.
