I hope this is not too serious...we already have five guys out and can't lose anyone else. Speaking of Five Guys... their burgers are tasty.

Sounds like there is a disconnect between Ben and the coaches. His minutes have been declining game by game as have his contributions to the team. He is probably frustrated with his standing and the coaches are frustrated with his productivity and cheap fouls on the court. All in all, it smells like a relationship on the rocks. Maybe I'm reading too much into the situation as I'd prefer to see a happy productive Dickinson on the court pouring in his soft jumpers.

Ben has a nice touch for a big guy and he's made some very nice passes. As could use him IF he would use his talents. I'm sure the Good naysayers will argue that the coaches aren't using Ben right and aren't helping him develop. I suspect there's a fair element of truth to such allegations but Ben's evident on court demeanor and attitude have been bothering me for most of the season.
Ben didn't start playing ball yesterday. A player needs to find ways to be productive in every game they play. Ben has enough experience he should be able to figure that out. I've not seen much of that with Ben. Instead, he sulks......or starts throwing elbows. Given that LMU is his second shot, he deserves a short leash. I'm behind the coaches on this one.

Ben was a brawler on the court. Sort of a good thing, sort of a bad thing. Would like to see him back though. We cannot afford to keep losing players and this sort of drama can't be good for team chemistry and unity.

I dunno. The guys worked very well together the last two games. Maybe Bens presence was hurting team chemistry.

Once again I agree Winter - the team seems to be gelling nicely. It's sort of like Max's first season when he had about 7 players - the core guys responded well.

Thanks - interesting article. It mentions NiƱo out for the rest of the season but doesn't clarify that situation

That's good - I'd like to see him return. He seems to be a real talent. I feared academic issues from some comments based on the timing - like end of semester (with finals results and grades coming in).

Per Verbal Commits, Ben Dickinson is a officially not coming back to LMU. No surprise here. I am glad that this is resolved definitively so all parties can move on.

I chatted with a few of his teammates about him during the season, and the general feeling was anger. They felt he ran out of the fox hole.

Pretty excited when he transferred here, but the more you watched him play with the flagrants then the altercation in the locker room, and how he presented himself around campus, my only perception of him is that he was one weird dude. He could score, but defensively he was a liability. Dunlap will bring in better, more complete players without the attitude issues.

Dickinson seems troubled. Hopefully he will find peace at his next location.
So who do we have at the moment (13 scholarship players)? Is this right: 9 returners: Siame, Okonji, Mornar, Levin, Stover, Blackwell, Payne, Egbeyemi, Flint 2 newcomers: Stewart, Wyatt
4 lost from last year: Ireland, Osborne, Jackson, Dickinson newcomers Godfrey and Cartwright are not coming
Sorry if I forgot someone...if above is accurate, we would have two scholarships.
