Hunter Dickinson from Michigan entered the transfer portal today. 7’1”, 260 lbs, best center in the portal. Supposedly it was between Duke and Michigan when he was in high school.
Transfer portal thread
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
Or Roach and Blakes are leaving.
Wow Hunter Dickinson is good. That is a big loss for Michigan. He almost went into the draft last year. Former 5 star I believe.

I say we sign this guy, bench him and only allow him to fetch balls during practice. We also can practice flagrant fouls on him.
Football team can use him as a tackling dummy. Fencing team could also benefit.
I'm not totally buying this one. Seems like some guys like to throw Duke in even if the contact is minimal or not even initiated by the staff. We are loaded with guards at the moment.
I don’t buy it either. If Duke is going after him Blakes isn’t the only transfer
It will be interesting to see what Roach, Schutt and Blakes do. 1 or 2 may leave.
Speaking of guards, Hunter Sallis of Gonzaga has entered the portal. Had a disappointing first 2 years; but a former 5 star.

Can yall live with that?
If I needed a center, I’d take Shedrick from UVA over Dickinson. He’s very athletic.
Is Schutt a better shooter than McCain? Hard to see us going 9 deep but never know
Watching some footage of the Dayton center Holmes. Wow this kid is athletic. Wirey and strong. He dunks a lot and has a nice jump hook. Can hit the 10 footer as well. Only question is the level of comp. but he looks good.
Holmes would be a better fit with Flip. But I love Hunter's game.
Think it depends on how many minutes that you foresee that person playing. If it’s 20-25 minutes so that time is split with Young then Shedrick is the choice. If you’re looking for a starter then the answer is Dickinson.
My thoughts exactly!! Couldn't resist throwing it out there to see if others agreed....OFC
TJ Power will be in the rotation. I don’t want Dickerson. Don’t count out Flip just yet.
Hey let’s go after two portal centers and let Reeves walk !
I think Shedrick might be a better fit for our offense. I do like Hunter as a COLLEGIATE 5
player. I am impressed with his offensive skills. OFC
Does Caitlin Clarke have any eligibility left? 😉 OFC
I'm hearing Hunter had some pretty serious issues with teammates at Michigan and was pretty vocal about it. Also wants a big NIL deal. . Maybe we should pass on him. Doesn't really seem like a team first guy, if rumors are true.
Level of Competition...??? And what he expects at DUKE.
@Coach325 Any chatter on Utah State's Steven Ashworth transferring here? I wouldn't necessarily say there's a great need, but who doesn't want another a good shooter? One of the best shooters in the country. 1st Team All-MWC.
Evidently we offered him a scholarship late in 2018. And he was also backcourt mates with Frank Jackson in high school.

Saw that piece. Then, later I saw we were speaking to another similar type 5. I hope Jon and staff are not "over- recruiting" to the point of running off existing players like Reeves.
@Mac9192 brought up a good point recently about chemistry, and the possibility of too much talent. Not to sound like a "Debbie Downer," but I hope we do not see too many defections from the program. Two players who I think can really develop further and make real contributions (and stay four years): Reeves and Schutt. Hate to see either one of those guys depart. Just my two cents.
OFC
These are great points. Player development is becoming a loss art!
We still don't know who is leaving and staying. Flip and Roach could still go. The coaching staff probably knows at this point. The bench guys may be waiting to see who we bring in. I'm hoping for Flip and the Virginia center. Roach back would be great, but at this point we need Flip back more. If Flip and Roach go, then we've lost 4 of our top 6 and will need to reload.
Hunter Dickinson's high school coach just joined the Maryland coaching staff. Gee I wonder what will happen next.
You'll finally spell his name correctly? Asking for a friend.
Don’t believe so. Duke is only focusing on a quality center at this point.
