I would love to have Dickens on the team, he is all of 7 foot and we have a need. His defense around the rim is very good, one game in HS he had 8 or 9 block shots. Has quick feet for a big. He is already stronger than Trey was when he left. Here's hoping we get the big guy.
Question with the changes to the NCAA, is Dickens required to sit out a year or can he play with a waiver? I just don't know, only played 3 games.
In HS the scouting services were saying.
