Pretty solid recruit so CMA must have some better recruits to pick from.  I hope so because I thought Dixon would be a good player in time.  Thin but good athlete.  Maybe suspect shooting the ball from the perimeter was his down fall.  Don't know?

Well, I would love to get a older player at the SF spot who can help us immediately.

If we do in fact land Allen and Izundu, we will go into 2015 without a true SF/Wing, which is fine because we will be loaded at guard. We will go with a 3 guard lineup, with a Forward and Post

"Arkansas will not bring in small forward Dikembe Dixson .... for a visit this weekend." Per RD this a.m.

Hmmm.  Wonder what that means.


Richard said in the comments question - it was doubtful he was ever coming and has nothing to do with Allen.
Inside every "older" person is a younger person wondering what the hell happened?

That's interesting

A Florida offer isn't what it used to be...

Would we get back on him?

At this point, I'd be for that. But, the question would need to be answer of why things cooled a couple weeks ago, or if they were ever really hot. But there are at least 5 SEC schools pursuing him right now. I'm not sure why we wouldn't be, to be honest. Maybe there is a reason. We may never know.

There is no telling.  He is a 6'7" wing and this team lacks a wing foward.  IMO from here on out it's goin to be three guard lineups, a undersized 4 and 5 on the floor.

WE decided not to offer.  It has been alluded to by media types the Arkansas and others have back off Dixson for reasons other than basketball talent.

What other reasons? Character or academic?

Must be character.  Because he declared on twitter that he was eligible.  But also claimed to have offers and visits scheduled  that never were.

Could be way off here, but I thought the fact he was being courted by UK, Uconn and others as a soph. and in the middle of his junior year he transfers schools was a little fishy? Get in trouble? Became uncoachable?

Dikembe Dixson is not on campus. His dad said a rescheduled Tennessee visit could come later this week. We'll see. http://knoxblogs.com/fastbreak/2015/05/15/three-star-2015-small-forward-dikembe-dixson-to-visit-vols/ ...

Made another round of calls about Dikembe Dixson and Tennessee. From his dad and HS coach:

QuoteDikembe Dixson doesn't visit UT; father says film is the holdup

Dixson planned to tour Tennessee's campus Monday, but his official visit did not happen and had not been rescheduled as of Tuesday afternoon, according to his father.

University of Illinois at Chicago? The Flames? Why didn't anybody in the SEC sign him? Why did he fall all the way to UIC? Wretched. Just because they're available in March doesn't make them all-stars. In fact, it might mean the opposite.
