2021 Offseason Roster Changes
I saw an interview with Coach Jeter where he said he had one scholarship available but wasn’t sure he would use it unless they came across a PG that would slot right in...BUT I would think they would take a player that would be an upgrade to any starter we have.

I believe Sandage and Dixon played together for one season at Vincennes.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 11:18 am George Dixon, formerly at EIU: https://eiupanthers.com/sports/mens-bas ... dixon/7192
