Would be a good catch

6'4''/185, originally from Gaithersburg but prepping at the storied DeMatha Catholic (Carlton's alma mater). Only HM offer is Xavier, but he was getting pretty significant interest from other top programs this past winter.

6’5 athletes like this are not supposed to shoot like that. Lawd that’s a beautiful stroke. Dematha is a legendary high school program, top top notch.

He's legit. His coach did a clinic this fall and he stuck out to me just as much as the 4* 2020s on their roster. If we have an AAU season, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up a 5*.

 

[Conndog]

Great hops, beautiful shot with quick release, not afraid of contact- I'm convinced!

 

[Watchdog]

Hmmm. JH for JB? Maybe not "Effortless" but similar size and all around ability as JB and could step right in.

 

[Coach J]

I'm sold!

Wow athletic, can shoot it, pull up/mid range game pretty please? Guessing his list of suitors will be large.

Also who's the big white lefty, any good? Lord knows he can pass the ball from the post just from looking at this video.

With Teske graduating and Davis/Castleton underwhelming, I'd expect Dickinson to start for Michigan from Day 1.

UConn: “Coach [Dan] Hurley and Coach [Kenya] Hunter say a lot of the same stuff. They need guys that can come in and play and score the ball for them.”

Me likes. Reminds a bit of Cam Thoma$.

Nothing like Thomas. He's more Bouk than Cam Thomas

Thanks for the clarification!

This kid has much more range than Bouk and considering the comp that DeMatha plays, seeing this tape, I think this kid has a HUGE upside. I would be very excited to have him in Storrs and think he would be the SG that DH would build around. I would think he would be a 5* at the start of his senior year at DeMatha in any other year that would allow summer ball
BTW - I saw Dickinson play AAU - he is a 7'2" assist machine

 

[UconnU]

I still can’t get over how wet this kids shot is. You almost never see top notch athletes with size who shoot that well. He looks like a young Kobe Bean Bryant out there.

[skyct]

Ray with longer limbs?

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Kerry Kittles

 

[Deuce]

I’ve seen this kid for a total of 8 minutes on 2 mixtapes but no nut grabbing, stare downs, pointing to the crowd, flexing for the camera....he gets buckets and just runs back on D. Hard not to like that approach.

 

[gtcam]

The more I dig into this kid's info the more I consider him to be a sure fire thing
Would love to hear DH comment on his view on Jordan

 

[ToolzieFan]

It looks like we're going to have some competition for this kid. It's nice knowing we have a realistic shot at players like this.
