'12 NY C Jordan Dickerson (Verbal SMU)

[bearcat jeff]

Rapidly improving big man who can rebound and block shots:

Another big man making the Top 20 All-Star game was NYC product Jordan Dickerson. The 6-foot-11 center will take a prep year in 2011-2012 and look to continue to develop his basketball skills. He certainly has the size to play at the highest level, but needs to refine his game.

Dickerson told NBE that Dayton, Kent State, Cincinnati and West Virginia have been in contact at one point or another in the recruiting process.

I just read on Bearcat Banter's recruiting board that he passed his ACT and has been cleared to sign a LOI with some school. He's a 7' footer. Don't know if UC still has interest.

NYC HOOPS dotnet ‏ @NYCHoops: NY seven-footer ready to sign: Former Abraham Lincoln (NY) center Jordan Dickerson, now at IMG Academy (FL), received a qualifying score on his SAT and is now qualified to sign a National Letter of Intent

Here it is.

Jeff do you have any more information on this guy. We really need players who fit our up and down tempo. I think it is a style the players like to play and fans like to watch.

2012 IMG Academies (FL) center Jordan Dickerson has moved his visit to Providence. Head to http://bit.ly/IX4uMV for the scoop.

South Carolina is going after this guy hard and heavy. Reported last night on a local news show that Frank Martin really likes Dickerson.

 

[mplebanon]

I heard a rumor that Mick has some big man in his back pocket to use the last 2012 schollie if Obekpa doesn't sign. I wonder if it's this kid?

I'm hearing Lavin is going hard after him, just to make the uc fans whine some more

 

[1717]

Oh wait we don't need him, sorry. lol

Oh wait we don't need him, sorry. lol

Dont need him because St. Johns is going to the Final Four? Winning the Big East? Or they are just cemented in their usual 11-15 Big East seed?

Honestly, I am not too high on dickerson. Seems like another Gaines. I like Gaines and it would be so big if it clicks for him this year but I would rather not have 2 projects.

Well I think you take both, especially since we have the wiggle room, and place your bet that one of the two will work out. Diversify!

FWIW I think Mick knows something about him (academics?):
Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein
Cincy backed off a bit in mid May. Johnnies stayed persistent @dcweisbrot: any idea why Obekpa chose stj over cincy?

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein
UC backed off, had posts in program. Lavin kept chipping @welks303:

I talked to some "people in the know" behind the scenes and anonymously they told me there were two factors in backing off Obekpa - 1. grades/academics 2. some shady stuff going on/requests from Obekpa's handlers.

I trust Mick. Obekpa and his handlers are Lavin's problem now.

UC is definitely headed in the right direction.

Sure you have spoken to "people in the know." You're still on the allegations, and spouting conjecture and innuendo.

I'm told ‪#stjbb‬ commit Chris Obekpa is qualified and does well academically in high school.

I guess we'll find out who's right, huh?

Obekpa is 100% qualified according to Zags. I believe he would be more " in the know" than your mystery guy. Why can't you just let it go already? This Obekpa talk has now spilled to a different thread. You are right that UC is headed in the right direction. Wish I could say the same for your posts.

Lavin and Calipari share a lot more in common than just that..

And congrats on figuring out the caps lock. Go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back.
