Quinnipiac transfer Mikey Dixon is headed to St. John's, per a source. Averaged 16.5 PPG last season.
-
KenPom numbers on Dixon for those interested:
113.4 Offensive Rating - 372nd in D1
53.3 effective FG % - 437th
4.8 Fouls Drawn per 40 - 400th
2.5 Fouls Committed per 40 - 423rd
86% FT% - 72nd
51% of 2s made
37% of 3s made
-
Put this in the 2017 recruits area.
-
Does he have to sit out a year?
-
Welcome aboard! He will see enough competition in practice this next year to prepare him for the best.
-
Kid is good and can light it up.
-
Does he have to sit out a year?
Yes he was a freshman.
This all sounds really good to me I'm on board.
-
6' 2" 161 lbs. Does this sound right for anyone who has seen him in person?
Nice addition for that 2018 class, and practices with the team for a whole year.

(WTNH)–Former Quinnipiac guard Mikey Dixon announced on Twitter Tuesday that he will transfer to St. John’s.
The 6-2 guard from New Castle, Delaware led the Bobcats and all MAAC freshmen in scoring at 16.5 points per game last season. He also put up 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per en route to winning MAAC Rookie of the Year honors.
-
Good grab. He won't scare any recruits away and 16.5 ppg is an impressive average for freshman even on a bad MAAC team. I'm good with this as a depth guy.
-
Sounds like a good move. High scoring who sits one year with 3 years eligibility. This year off can spend plenty of time getting stronger. Helps balance guard classes.
-
Alpha bangura averaged 18.9 points at Monmouth before he transferred to St. John's .
-
We invest 2 years in a 3 star Ellison who has a big east body, but clear flaws. He leaves and most are happy. Now we get a 0 star player who is 162 pounds and people are happy.

Alpha got his pts by being physically superior to northeast conference players (arguably worst conference). Dixon is skilled as f*ck and averaged 16.5 while built like a middle school girl. Put 20 lbs on him and he could be a big player here.

If Dixon scared off Muhammad then that would be sad. Dixon seems like a good scorer to come off the bench. He's not scaring top 50 prospects away.

Just curious. Do you think Muhammad is coming?

I know nothing about this kid to think whether it is a good signing or not. I don't like when kids leave our program after a few years because one expects to get the upside that comes with growth/maturity/development after sticking with a player through the learning years. We will see what happens with Dixon.
At first I was happy because Baldi, who watches more MAAC than anyone, said the kid is good and can play. But then he posted this, so who knows.

I'm far from "in the know" but I've loosely heard that we have a really good shot. And, on other Big East boards of teams recruiting Luther, people are posting that he is a SJU-lean for sure.

Ellison is here for two years and you shit on him. Then he leaves and you mourn his loss and shit on his replacement. Which behavior do you think is more pathological?

Yeah. Will let the other 3 schollies sit there. Makes sense
-

No chance. He will be completely forgotten by the world in three weeks. That's the best part about these sign and sit transfers.
-
Luther Muhammad is still target #1 for 2018 guards with Greg Williams target #2.
-
Guess this takes us out of the 18 class?
Don't worry. Dixon will need backcourt mates
-
Either is a must. Both are big guards which will offset Ponds and Dixon and can play along side Simon. I would imagine that both, if truly interested in SJU, will wait out to see which guards leave. However, unless you are Kansas, Duke or Kentucky, kids might not want to wait on a school like SJU which has 0 pros.
Really like this pickup, maybe the high scoring guard we need to take over lovett's spot assuming he leaves.
-
His MAAC ROY award was no fluke. When reviewing his game logs, there are certain games that stand out. Consecutive 11, 12 and 9 rebound games in Mid-February are particularly outstanding for someone his size and age. His season was littered with 20+ point games and he shares the rock plenty for someone of his scoring prowess:
http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/gamelog/_/id/4070682/mikey-dixon
His practice play alone will elevate his game and keep Marcus and Shamorie honest in practice all season, a win/win. He'll rest and most importantly learn how to run the system while Marcus and Shamorie have free reign. When the inevitable happens w Marcus Spring 18' he is roaring to go. Major credit to Abs here, the program keeps getting more wholesome. The past month's purge is being explained plenty, here's to the BK bully IK being next aboard!

Agreed . Gotta think both Lovett and Ponds leave after next season

Like Lovett was supposed to this season.
If you say it often enough, I'm sure eventually it will come true....might take it into Senior year but...ya know.

I've been told that Ponds is leaving after he graduates.

I didn't shit on him.
-
Once again, love Ponds and Lovett but please tell me the market overseas or at home for barely 6 foot guards that weigh 175 pounds? Gut tells me Ponds is here for min 3 years and Lovett will not find much more of a market then he did this year

Right, you were a big fan of him and Joey DeLaRosa.
-
I like guys who know how to put the ball in the bucket. A big gripe a lot of fans have is SJU doesn't have good IQ guys. I don't know Dixon at all so I can't speak from personal knowledge but he seems to be an upgrade over Ellison in terms of mental toughness + intelligence. The thing holding him back is physicality which he'll have a year to get right.
I don't think he's a difference maker but hopefully he's a guy who helps St. John's win games.
Also if Luther Muhammed doesn't commit I'd be surprised. I'm hoping he does in next two weeks because I have a really strong feeling he's gonna blow up.
-
Alpha bangura averaged 18.9 points at Monmouth before he transferred to St. John's .
I was going to mention this...
It could temper our enthusiasm, but he's still a good get.
-
Solid pickup and good depth guy but that's it. Need bigs or next year is going to be more of the same mediocrity.
-
I think we all realize the odds are slim that Lovett will be back after next season, given what transpired this offseason. You never know with kids, but I'd be very surprised.
Ponds is a different situation IMO. No age issue as with Lovett. Doesn't have the history of jumping around like Lovett. And seems to be a very mature and intelligent kid. He very well could see the upside in growth/development by sticking around, even if he has a great year next season.
Mussini - who knows when he will decide to return to Italy to play hoops for pay.
Guess this takes us out of the 18 class?
Don't worry. Dixon will need backcourt mates

Realistically thinking, this was either:
a) roster filler. Which is fine but people getting all excited over this are being silly
or
b) means no Muhammed which means I hope kid can play in the BE
-

Why does it have to mean either? Who knows how his lack of size will translate to the Big East, but this was probably a 25 ppg scorer in the MAAC in two years. He had a lot of room to improve based on his low weight and stength alone.
It looks like we grabbed a 4th guard that can give depth at both positions and score the ball. From a skills standpoint, the kid has great ball skills and a good stroke. We can expect a decent reserve, but there is certainly a decent ceiling there if he can get up to 185-190 lbs. Unfortunately for him our conditioning program is dreadful.

Ponds, Simon, Mussini, DIxon-Muhammed would make 5. That is just bad roster management. This has been one of our biggest problems. ST John's should send someone to intern with Creighton, Butler,Marquette, etc to learn roster management.

I was told by someone in the school that they wouldn't be expecting Lovett back for the 18-19 season.

When Dixon is eligible Ponds will be a junior, SImon a junior, Mussini a senior, Dixon a soph and Muhammad a freshmen. That looks pretty balanced to me.
Marquette had nine guards on their roster this year. Creighton had 10. Xavier had eight.

How is that bad?
Need depth and versatility. Luther and Simon can play 1,2,3.

Say what??? You think 5 guards in a roster of 13 is too many??? that leaves you 8 spots for small forward, power forward and center.
-
I thought Mikey's interview when he won MAAC Rookie award was spot on in that when asked what he would be working on. He hit it when he said the weight room was where he needed to be. With a year off, he can work on physical development along with skills and be there when Marcus leaves. This is not a kid who is transferring because of minutes as he led his team in that area. With us his minutes can go down and his production per minute can go up.
-
OMG! Too many talented guards!!! You folks is nuts.
-
No one is playing 5 guards. If Muhammad comes here that means he is getting guaranteed pt. Ponds will be our best player and Simon will probably be our 2nd best player they will both play 30 plus.
My point was either this is not a significant signing OR if it is Muhammad is not coming here.That is all.

I don't see it that way. This actually seems like the most balanced we've been in 20 years. Dixon is coming in to take a backseat to a JR Ponds (and possibly Lovett) and a SR Mussini for a year. Simon is a clear SF to me. Muhammad can play some SF too.
The thing with Dixon is that he doesn't scare anyone away like Muhammed or Heron and we owe him nothing. If he doesn't work out, oh well. The kid has serious upside, though. He is like a righty Ponds, albeit less talented. I wanted to find something to dislike about him, but he's got some real skills. He's just really, really skinny.

No way Sham is leaving.

Show me a team that plays 5 guards?
AGAIN point is, this is either not a big deal and he will be out of rotation or staff does not think it is getting Muhammed.
I have no problem taking in guys like Dixon to fill out a roster but some on here-Marillac over hyping him .

Marquette had six guards who played more than 25 minutes per game.

Nova had about 7 guards on the roster this season. Most teams have at least 5-6.

Yeah I will give you that. Difference is that Ponds ,Simon and Muhammad would demand will demand more minutes than the Marquette guards. Though not sure how you only played Howard 22 mins? That is crazy
-
Nova also has a plethora of big, physical, athletic 6'4, 6'5 guards.
The guards the Johnnies are signing are on the all-anorexic team. Those big guards that Nova and Xavier have allow you to balance the floor better. We need more balance on the front line.

Nova also got it done with scrawny guards like Allan Ray and Mike Nardi next to 6'0 (but rugged) Kyle Lowrey.

At 6-2 190 Allan Ray would win a battle Royal against all of our guards except Simon. I would put my $ on Lowry against our frontcourt in a Battle Royal.

This whole argument is ludicrous, they are not overloaded at guard even with potential commitments from Muhammad and Williams down the road. And at the same time they are not playing 5 guards at a time.
These things will work themselves out don't fret.

ST john's board so outside of you and Bladi just kind of assumed everyone else was a ST John's fan. As far as work out that generally means:
Definition of workout
1
: a practice or exercise to test or improve one's fitness for athletic competition, ability, or performance
2
: a test of one's ability, capacity, stamina, or suitability
3
: an undertaking or plan intended to resolve a problem
I took a shot in the dark on option number 3.

I like Mikey Dixon best because he averaged 24ppg vs Iona this year...

First decent reason i have heard about why we should consider scheduling them.

Calling all bigs 6'8 and over who don't have two left feet...come to St. John's.

And he already knows what it's like to finish 8th in the league, so we gain some experience there. I like Dixon. He's certainly going to be shocked playing at Carnesecca Arena after playing on that beautiful campus

We need lots of things, including a balanced roster and roster continuity. Bringing this guy in helps with that and doesn't affect the ability to recruit anyone else. There's four or five open scholarships and he seems to have a lot of upside. I don't get the complaining. Nobody commits people complain. Someone commits people complain. People just like to complain. I find other people's complaints exhausting.

This whole argument is ludicrous, they are not overloaded at guard even with potential commitments from Muhammad and Williams down the road. And at the same time they are not playing 5 guards at a time.
These things will work themselves out don't fret.
Yeah, things usually work out for us
Weren't you a big fan of Larry Wright? Dixon is a lot like Wright but with way better ball skills.
Wright 6-2 / 170
Dixon 6-2 / 160
Wright as a senior:
10 points / 3 assists / 3 rebounds / .43 FG / .36 3pt / .80 FT
Dixon as a freshman
16.5 points / 2 assists / 4 rebounds / .45 FG / .37 3 pt / .85 FT
And the moral is: haters gonna hate
Never saw him play. We need big guys
We need lots of things, including a balanced roster and roster continuity. Bringing this guy in helps with that and doesn't affect the ability to recruit anyone else. There's four or five open scholarships and he seems to have a lot of upside. I don't get the complaining. Nobody commits people complain. Someone commits people complain. People just like to complain. I find other people's complaints exhausting.
If he was 6-7 from Quinipiac I would have said GREAT! Getting another small guard from a low major conference just looks like they are scrambling to fill out a roster. I am not complaining. Norm beat the complaining out of me. I am questioning the process.

If there is one thing I don't question about you it is your sincerity. But on your claim that people's complaining is exhausting you I call BS. To be exhausted by their complaining you would have to give a hoot and lord knows you don't give a spit about anything. 8)

Mikey Dixon fell through cracks recruiting wise. 3 years at St.John's should be indicative of this. High-scoring guard is lethal when hot
Who isn't lethal when hot?

Well if you ask wasju he'll tell you Marco Bourgault was the hottest player St. John's has had in forever and I can't remember him ever being lethal.

He's really not a small guard. He's a 6'2" freshman. You keep saying it, but he's bigger than both Lovett and Ponds. Another 10-15 lbs and he's same size as guys like Troy bell, kemba Walker, Allan Ray, among many, many others. Just because he played in the Maac doesn't mean he wasn't underrecruited by major programs. Kid has great numbers against D1 teams
as a freshman.

They aren't mutually exclusive. We still have three spots left for bigs. BTW, YouTube has full length Quinnipiac games. The kid looks really, really good. He's a lot like Ponds. He can shoot his ass off and he's slippery and creative in the lane like Ponds. Baldi can attest that generally the MAAC guards are older and well developed physically, so it's impressive that such a scrawny kid could average 16.5 and 4 right out of the gate at such a physical deficit.

I'm all for this kid, but Ponds is definitely bigger. He is very similar to Ponds, though. He's the skinniest kid I've ever seen in d-1.

A lot of talented guards in the MAAC. He was 1 of the good young ones. Can put up points in a hurry, just needs to get stronger and more consistent

size only matters when _______________.
I remember seeing a guard listed at 6' 0" and 165 who was fairly decent baller. His name was Allen Iverson.

There are always exceptions but generally speaking I prefer bigger guards. If guards are smaller they better be quick as heck and shoot the piss out of it.

Marco vs Uconn. Richard vs SU. Both played one great half of basketball.
-
There's little doubt that being taller and more filled out is always better. This kid is listed at 6'2 which is taller then then ponds and Lovett. He just needs to add some bulk to take the bumps in the BE. 6'2 is plenty big enough but yes his weight might be an issue if he stays at 160
-
No one is playing 5 guards. If Muhammad comes here that means he is getting guaranteed pt. Ponds will be our best player and Simon will probably be our 2nd best player they will both play 30 plus.
My point was either this is not a significant signing OR if it is Muhammad is not coming here.That is all.
Or like l said, both Lovett and Ponds level after soph seasons
You said this year that two or three guards would be leaving.
Came to their senses
He wasn't all wrong. Ellison left and Lovett almost left.
If he's said no one was leaving he'd have been just as not all wrong as he was by saying two or three were leaving.

You convinced me, great signing. Where is the Final Four in 2019 going to buy my tickets.
Kid could be next Hatten but at this point not getting excited at a small guard from Quinipiac. Get some Bigs.

He knows that he has to hit the weight room, that was the plan after the season. Like one of his former coaches said if he hits the weight room we will be very happy.
