Good article by Corey Albertson about the John Lucas Midwest Invitational in Louisville, and it happened to feature Dikembe Dixson in it as well.

"Before Saturday, hardly anyone without a strong knowledge of prospects in the state of Kentucky had heard of class of 2015 small forward Dikembe Dixson. But after today the 6-foot-7 wing from Bardstown (Ky.) Thomas Nelson will be in consideration for every list of player rankings put together by any scouting service in the country.

Dixson has come a long way in the last year, including moving from Ashland (Ky.) to Bardstown (a bigger city located between Lexington and Louisville) for a chance at more exposure and opportunity.

Now that he has the spotlight on him, Dixson shows no signs of wanting to let up. The 6-foot-7 junior was absolutely dominant from beginning to end on Saturday, scoring off the dribble with his length, athleticism, smooth handle and total aggressiveness on every possession.

Dixson is a fluid player that really thrives in transition and understands how to use dribble moves, and especially hesitation, to create space and attack his defender on his way to the rim. He's a willing passer, plays hard on the defensive end and is even capable of knocking down a fair amount of outside shots. He'll have to work on his left hand, but the potential that Dixson displayed, combined with the production that he's already capable of, was significant in Louisville on Saturday.

Thanks to some basketball experts from around the Louisville area, the word on Dixson is starting to leak out, as schools like UConn, Memphis, Oregon, Iowa State, West Virginia and Illinois have all stopped by Thomas Nelson High School in the last few weeks to check him out.

As he continues to refine his game and gain more exposure, look for Dixson to be one of the class of 2015 players who could really make a splash, potentially even earning his way into the Rivals150 at some point."

Lots of talent

[E's Army]

Hope to get the opportunity to see him this year.

I watched his mixtape on allkyhoops and the kid looks like a player to me. He looks to have got more athletic and became a better ball handler to me.

[OLD MAN LOGAN]

Glad to see the young man getting that type of exposure.Those are serious looks he's getting.

Since when did Bardstown become larger than Ashland. I thought Ashland was twice the size of Bardstown

[Loon]

You are correct, Citykat. Actually, Ashland is just short of being 3x larger than Bardstown......

[Mix1]

UK sent him a text saying they were going to evaluate him over the next year. Cal just putting feelers out in case he blows up over the next year.

[Truth]

It appears that "relocating" was the best move he could have made. The article reveals a lot. Being west of Winchester is vital to decent exposure- unless you can catch the eye of ESPN and USA Today.

[RamPride]

He must have improved.

[The Weatherman]

It was good to see #29 knock down the three on this video. This local kid will blow up playing against the talent he does everyday in practice. He will be a special player.

Dixson is on the rise. Saw him play a couple times and he has some ability. Needs o add a good jumper to his game to be a big time D-1 player
