Hunter Dickinson, the 7-foot-2 center from DeMatha Catholic (MD), has taken official visits to Notre Dame (Sept. 1) and Purdue (Oct. 19). He broke down each visit for ZAGSBLOG Tuesday:
Notre Dame: “Their pitch centered around the DeMatha family they have there. With [assistant coach] Rod Balanis and DJ Harvey [both DeMatha products], I won’t be going into an unfamiliar situation. Also, they can offer me something none of the other schools can offer and that’s a Notre Dame degree.”
Purdue: “They love big men. Their success with all the big men they’ve had under coach [Matt] Painter is appealing.”
Dickinson was also on campus at Maryland last month (Nov. 28) to see the Maryland vs. Virginia game.
