According to a source close to the team Jermaine Dixon, a JUCO shooting guard recruit, may not be a member of the Panthers this year. Apparently the 6'3" 190 lb Dixon is struggling with some academic issues that may not be cleared up by the time he is to report to Pitt.
Dixon, who won NJCAA Player of the Week honors in December, was brought in to compete for time at the shooting guard position following Ronald Ramon's graduation.
Dixon shot 48% from the field, 26% from beyond the arc and 78% from the charity stripe. He averaged just under 21 points a game and was active on the glass averaging almost 7 rebounds a game.
However if Dixon doesn't qualify, this may create space for Mike Cook, if he is granted a sixth year of eligibility.
