New York Times reports Binghamton transfer likely headed to Lions


UPDATE (4:36 p.m.): I just heard from Dickinson, and he is indeed transferring to LMU. "When I visited, I loved the school and felt really comfortable with coaches and players," he said.


Original Post (11:00 a.m.): The New York Times reported today that Ben Dickinson, who led Binghamton in both scoring and rebounding during his freshman season last year, is expected to transfer to LMU. Dickinson's departure from the program is not surprising, considering the Binghamton program today announced the firing of its head coach.


Dickinson averaged 13.5 points and 6.1 rebounds last season, while starting 27 of his team's 30 games. The 6'8" forward, who is originally from Virginia, was an America East Conference all-rookie last season. If he is indeed joining the Lion, he would sit out one year due to NCAA rules.

DuBois headed to Utah

As reported by the Los Angeles Loyolan, Jarred DuBois will use his final year of eligibility to play for the University of Utah. Because of his upcoming graduation from LMU this coming weekend, Jarred will be able to begin playing for Utah immediately. In his three seasons playing for the Lions, Jarred averaged just over ten points per game, while also contributing heavily on the defensive end of the court.
