Mike LukeHOST
Well, the thing about it, though, too, is that he's not guaranteed to start at UConn either.
Mike LukeHOST
So when people are saying that he's scared off by J.J. Mandicant or Derek Dixon or something, that's not true.
Mike LukeHOST
He's going to a place where you've got Silas Demery Jr.
Mike LukeHOST
County and another five-star back there.
Joe TiptonHOST
He wanted a pretty sizable role as a freshman.
Joe TiptonHOST
And like I said, with Arizona, they're going to have a guy like J.J. Mandequit, Derek Dixon back as juniors, assuming they're back for another year.
Joe TiptonHOST
So I think overall, it's a really good pick for UConn and a good fit all around.
Jamie ShawHOST
And I'll tell you one thing, too, again, is everybody's talking about the current state of this recruiting process and everything and how NIL is ruining everything as well.
Ryan HammerHOST
So I'm excited for him at Arizona.
Ryan HammerHOST
I think Derek Dixon is awesome.
Ryan HammerHOST
I think he's a big breakout candidate that people aren't talking about really in the landscape of college basketball.
Ryan HammerHOST
When I do a big breakout list, which should be probably in the next week or two, Derek Dixon will be a – I think he's top – I think he's top 20, I'll just tell you now.
Ryan HammerHOST
He's definitely top 20 on there, I think.
Ryan HammerHOST
Derek Dixon is, oh, he's top 10 on there.
Ryan HammerHOST
Derek Dixon, top 10 breakout candidate for me.
Ryan HammerHOST
And then Ivan Karchenkov looked unbelievable.
Andrew CrowleyHOST
He was named Big 12 Player of the Year and won Most Outstanding Player in the Big 12 Tournament after hitting an unforgettable buzzer beater in the semifinals against Iowa State.
Andrew CrowleyHOST
The rebuilt Wildcats, who were slotted No. 3 in Hoops HQ's Never Too Early Top 25, have the perimeter talent to replace Bradley's production, They landed prize recruit Caleb Holt, a 6'5 wing, ranked number two in the class of 2026 per the 24-7 sports composite, and signed a pair of promising Power 5 transfers, 6'5 sophomore wing Derek Dixon from North Carolina and 6'1 sophomore point guard J.J. Mandequit from Washington.
Andrew CrowleyHOST
That group has atomic potential, but it's young, inexperienced, and new to the Big 12.
Andrew CrowleyHOST
Bradley was Arizona's leader, go-to option in the clutch, and top playmaker.
Damon FairallHOST
Cam Holmes is probably the guy I'm most excited to see when it comes to that opportunity.
Damon FairallHOST
I also want to see what JJ Mandequit and Derek Dixon look like.
Damon FairallHOST
I think that point guard tandem is going to continue to be interesting.
Damon FairallHOST
basically until we have a better picture and an idea of what the plan is at that position where is it going to be like a true split? Are they going to share the court together? You know, is Mandaquit the backup and Dixon the starter? Is that even set in stone right now? And if Mandaquit is the backup, I want to see him quarterback that second team unit.
Kevin ThomasHOST
Yeah, I mean, of the things that you did not mention, I'm extremely excited to watch Caleb Holt's first technical, technically his first college minutes for Arizona.
Kevin ThomasHOST
I'm very excited for that.
Kevin ThomasHOST
How does he run the show? Is it mostly Derek Dixon running the show, or is it Caleb Holt kind of being more on ball? I'm very interested in
Damon FairallHOST
that.
Jason ScheerHOST
But honestly, I'm looking for Maxim, Moogie, Cam Holmes, Caleb Holt.
Jason ScheerHOST
Dennis Dixon and Derek Dixon, the Dixon
Mike LukeHOST
brothers.
Mike LukeHOST
Yeah.
Adam HammerHOST
Their worst finish under Tommy Lloyd in five years has been 11th.
Adam HammerHOST
Derek Dixon, J.J. Mandequit, R.J. Godfrey, if the extra year stuff holds up.
Adam HammerHOST
By the way, Caleb Holt.
Adam HammerHOST
Monster.
