Fisher on Suarez: "We're excited to welcome Edwin back to Pennsylvania and to our Temple family," Fisher said. "We know the Greater Reading community will be proud to see him continue his career on North Broad. He brings an efficient offensive game, physicality and a relentless approach on the glass. Edwin has shown he can impact the game in a lot of ways, both offensively and defensively, and we believe his competitiveness will be a strong addition to our frontcourt."
