Not according to Evan Burns I laughed when I saw this. Yes, Fisher is very concerned when it comes to grades. Burns was a McDonalds All-American who was originally going to go to UCLA, but due to his grade, he couldn't. What I heard was he had quit going to classes, so Fisher cut him. |

Not according to Evan Burns Steve Fisher has more cases like Brandon Heath than he does Evan Burns. |

You left out the part about Burns blowing out his knee.  |

Yea, he did that during a pick up game after his second and final year at State. That knee injury didn't end his basketball career, so I felt it wasn't the main reason why he was cut. Some NBA teams flew him out to watch him practice, but nothing came of it. |

He only played 1 year at state. not 2. |

I'm glad I got to see him play at least once live with Tony Bland at the NIT game. |

the blown out knee was the excuse for him to stop going to classes, but he wasn't going to be eligible likely anyways
