Hunter Dickinson
School: DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, Maryland)
Position:
Center
Height/Weight:
7-2/255
Considering: Michigan, Florida State, Duke, Notre Dame

The Buzz: Dickinson, ranked No. 23 in the Chosen 25, could make a decision during the Early Signing Period. Duke just got a commitment from IMG Academy (Bradenton, Florida) center Mark Williams and already has Trinity Episcopal School (Richmond, Virginia) forward Henry Coleman III locked in as well. The frontcourt could prove to be too crowded for Dickinson, and Michigan coach Juwan Howard made a strong impression on Dickinson on his official. That connection could prove to be a determining factor.
