Young, Dickinson and Reece sounds like a great group, but how well do Reece and Dickinson play together? How does that work offensively. You just never know. Remember that Maryland team that had Trimble, Stone, the Duke transfer and Layman? They were really good with Layman at the 4 and that core group. The next year they added that transfer at the 4, I think from Georgia Tech maybe? But, that pushed Layman to the wing, taking away his advantage of being defended by 4's the previous season, and the transfer 4 and Stone didn't really mesh. They had a decent season, but weren't close to being National Title contenders that they were touted to be. Long story, short, the pieces don't always fit.

Well the thing about Dickinson is that he can shoot from the perimeter. So that helps spacing wise for anyone.. but he could be looking to get out of the B1G entirely. And if he's tired of the mauling.. I don't see how going to another B1G school or even a Big East school would make sense. BGleas and MikeRoberts 1 1 Quote

Just saying if he did go to Maryland, while certainly a great pull for Willard, you never know how the pieces are going to actually fit together. While Dickinson can hit 3's, he's still best around the paint, same with Reece, and how does that impact Young's ability to penetrate. I'd be surprised if Dickinson stays in the Big Ten too though. lillurk 1 Quote
OliviaPope40 Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 For Dickinson to transfer out something more behind the scenes had to have happened during the season for him to transfer out I'm not sure what but that's just my guess almost kind of like when Joey Hauser and his brother transferred out of Marquette.

I would guess that the Hauser boys left because of Markus Howard chucking up 30 shots a game. Maybe Dickinson didn't like Jett? NVFalcons1990 1 Quote

Wonder if Nimari Burnett has any regret. HD was on one great team, but it had 3 wings/fwds who’ve started NBA games (one of whom was a lottery pick who should’ve gone higher), plus two really good senior guards.

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 I've put my official prediction out there. Caleb Love commits next Friday. Giving Indiana arguably the best defensive backcourt in the B1G. taco corp and lillurk 2 Quote

If IU gets Love I personally think Battle is a better fit. Ledlum is better off the dribble and Battle is better off the catch. Love and X will have the ball mostly making Battle more valuable imo. lillurk, thebigweave, jonz44 and 3 others 6 Quote
