We know he's rough and can get pushed around from some high schoolers but all of that can be corrected with coaching for proper foot work, body positioning and added leg and body strength which can be coached, you just can't coach the size as they say.
He can block shots and Larry B will grill him on defense as LB is working all the kids on defense this summer.....big time. Its great to have TWO friggin 7 Footers on the team and we have great coaches that will add value to the members of this team. This is good stuff. I understand he had qualifying scores in May.
"Dickerson came to Lincoln as a raw junior from Alexandria, Va., with
limited basketball experience. After a solid senior year, he headed down
to IMG this past fall and enjoyed an impressive season there, coach
Loren Jackson said. He averaged 10 points, eight rebounds and four
blocks per game as the team went 28-2.
“Jordan is a very talented
kid that has a great opportunity ? his upside is tremendous,†Jackson
said. “Someone is going to benefit from him and he’s going to benefit
from going to school. He really, really improved. He has a good concept
of how a big guy should play. He’s a lot more skilled than people think."
