Josh Hagins

Josh will go down in history as one of the all-time Trojan greats. He is all over the record books, plus his leadership qualities were excellent. There is not much I could say about him that has not already been said. However, one of the things that I will remember most about Josh is the fact that he wanted to come to Little Rock, and when he came, he stayed. Even when we changed coaches. Even when his playing time was not what he might have liked. Even when we had bad years. How common is that? This was his team, particularly this last year. Even his considerable statistics can be replaced (although it might have to be by committee), but a large question remains as to whether we can quickly get someone to step into his leadership role.

Derek Fisher is Mr. Trojan, but if he had not had such a successful pro career, we probably would be regarding Josh Hagins in the same light as Fish.
