Jordan Dickerson C - SMU

 Pretty sure most of us fans would have given an arm to have 15 minutes a game from Coker last season during BE play.

15 mpg????
Coker would have had 35 fouls if he played 15 mpg.
 
Not sure I would use a scholie on a kid just because he's big. I don't know anything about him, but if he's a project, I would pass and save the scholarship.

Sounds like we're not first on his list anyway.

I'd go Chandler or bust at this point. 
 
I agree to an extent, the fact that schools from the SEC, ACC & Big East are recruiting him tell me that he may be a bit more polished. If our name was being mentioned along with schools like Monmouth & Drexel, then I would be worried. We don't need another Curtis Johnson or Phil Wait.

I agree. I'm also not one who would use a scholarship on someone just because they're big. I've never seen him play, but I've heard from a couple of posters, whose observations I respect, that he has quite a ways to go.

Could he be a kid who could become valuable around his junior season? That's possible. Maybe, that is the reason the staff could be keeping their options open.

I still believe he'll end up at either Providence or South Carolina.

That's possible. But, I believe it's more about schools attempting to land some size during the spring period. Some kids--especially, kids with size--become more appealing during the late stanza.  

By the way, there is a thread on Dickerson, per the recruiting section. 
 
CAN STILL REMEMBER JOE BARRY CARROLL,PURDUE 7 FOOTER BLOCKING UP THE MIDDLE AGST WAYNE MCKOY,ETC...HE DIDN'T HAVE A GREAT NBA CAREER...BUT IF YOU CAN COUNTER A BIG SLUG IN THE MIDDLE,YOU LOSE 
 
 I remember JBC too, and Wayne was really only 6'8", so the height difference was huge.

JBC was no way a BIG SLUG, jhe was a very good college player, and a good (not great) NBA one.
 
I know some people here have said he isn't very good but i've also heard from others he has some potential. 7 feet and some what athletic with potential sounds good. I would trust our staff to try develop him over 4 years. I doubt he comes how ever because I believe he said playing right away is a major factor in his decision which I dont think he would get here 
 
 If memory is at all functional Celtics traded @1 pick (known as just barely conscious in Boston) for Robert Parrish and the #3 pick that became Kevin McHale. Can some of the oldtimers on the board say Cliff Hagan and Easy Ed Macauley?
 
Pete Vescey of the New York Post called him Joe Barely Cares.

Vescey also called him Joe Barry Apathy. (Loved his aka's for Spencer Haywood as well: Spencer Driftwood and Spencer Deadwood.)
 
right...he barely cared until we got stuck playing him in the first round of the ncaa tournament...home game for them...and THEY ended up going to the final four. 
 
The guy scored over 10,000 points in the NBA. He probably had an attitude problem, but was a player (maybe a selfish one). 
 
Speaking of Curtis Johnson, I remember the highlight of his career, the game against Notre Dame at the Garden, during the mindboggling Jarvis years; SJU losing by double figures, Cujo came in and turned the game around and I believe SJU won that game. He never duplicated that effort, and I remember they had to break both his feet to try to fix them. It was hard to tell if he really had much talent as he had bad feet and was always in foul trouble.

I'm hazy on the details of the points deficit at the time, etc., but I do remember that Ryan Humphrey was thrown completely off his game after Curtis was inserted. CuJo blocked him a few times -- maybe in the same ND offensive sequence -- and that was it for Humphrey.
