Coach Dickson on Dickson: "Jeff had a tremendous year defensively last season and has really developed into one of the best perimeter defenders to ever play at Saint Anselm. He rarely gets beat, he contests every shot, he steals it and really rebounds the defensive glass for his size - he is clearly the glue to our team on the defensive end of the court. Jeff is a very creative passer, makes limited mistakes with the ball, and has been at the top of the league the last two years in assist to turnover ratio. Hopefully, he can increase his scoring production as a senior, which would really make us a much more dangerous team."
