What was the deal with his team this year?


Injuries, and ever since they lost to Long Beach St. at home, they seem to fall apart mentally.

Keeps it quiet.

Fly into an area where either is not recognizable.

If we get Dixon, I would squeal like a prepubescent girl.

He's not who I initially wanted but then I remember Trent Johnson.

Definite UPGRADE!!!

Absolutely. Alleva has a chance to endear himself to the fanbase with this hire.

He has the change to make LSU basketball relevant again.

This seems like a nick saban type hire. If that makes sense.

The recruits would come with a coach like Dixon.

Time to get the swag back

Also has two commits who have not signed yet with Pitt, not sure he would bring them but one is a 5 star C.

I am getting my hopes up way too much for this to be legit.

Also a transfer who will be eligible immediately, also not signed.

(4 star Trey Zeigler from Central Michigan. Dad was coach and got fired. Friend of Dixon)

Zeigler is one of the reasons that I have doubted Dixon, because he just committed. Surely if Dixon thought this was a possibility, he would have told the father. They are close friends.

what does Dixon make at Pitt?

And I thought I read where one of Dixon's best friends son just committed to Pitt. Is that true?

Could you imagine if he did infact come here and bring any of those players with him. The buzz for LSU Basketball would be back!

I'd be shocked if Dixon would seriously consider LSU. Like a poster on the pitt board said, "LSU? C'mon. That is like us coming after Les Miles."

With that said, PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
