03/03/08: "No doubt the sweet shooting wing athlete will fit right in the Cincinnati system, he has explosive quicks off the dribble or pull-up and stick jumper from arc on in. He averaged just over 25 points an outing this season and has the ability to be a solid defender in the Big East as well. He chose Cincinnati over interest from Ohio State, Baylor, Marquette, Iowa, Iowa State, Kentucky, and Indiana." - HoopMasters.com

03/02/008: "Dion Dixon, the 6'3 guard from Crane Tech High School in Chicago, has verbally committed to the University of Cincinnati. Dixon chose the Bearcats over Wyoming, Baylor, Ohio State and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi." more -

03/02/08: "Chicago guard Dion Dixon, who was at the game today, just announced that he has committed to UC. Dixon is a 6-3 guard from Crane High School. He averages 25 points per game and plays point guard in high school, although he says he can also play the two. "I just fell in love with the coaching staff," Dixon said. "And when I watched the game, I love the way they play. It fits my style. Coach lets you play." Dixon said he was also recruited by Baylor and Ohio State, although UC is the only school he has visited." - Enquirer.com

02/21/08: "Baylor University has offered a scholarship to 6'3 guard Dion Dixon from Crane and the Bears remain heavily involved with a number of top recruits from the state of Illinois in all classes." - Illinois Prep Bullseye

02/19/08: "This high scoring wing talent has been putting up 28 points an outing this winter. He can knock down three with regularity and can explode to the hoop with either hand. His schools include Indiana, Marquette, Cincinnati, Wyoming, UAB, Iowa, Iowa State, Kentucky, and Ohio State." - HoopMasters

02/01/08: "As we have mentioned before, the recruiting situation of Dion Dixon from Crane Tech High School in Chicago will very much be contingent upon academics, which is why a number of high major programs are still monitoring that situation before coming forward with offers. Cincinnati and Ohio State are two schools that are still expressing strong interest, while Wyoming and Texas A&M Corpus-Christi, both of whom have offered, remain very much in the hunt." - Illinois Prep Bullseye

01/21/08: "Kansas, Cincinnati, DePaul, Illinois State, (others) were all among the schools that had coaches in the house at Whitney Young High School to watch the wide array of talent on display at the Martin Luther King Dream Classic. Wyoming is very much in the running for the services of 6'3 guard Dion Dixon from Crane Tech High School in Chicago. Dixon's academic situation still remains uncertain, which is why a number of high majors who have shown recent interest have not offered as of yet. We believe that Dixon is the best unsigned prospect in Illinois from the class of 2008." - Illinois Prep Bullseye

12/28/07: "Until this summer, not many people had heard the name Dion Dixon. The 6-3 shooting guard from Crane Tech High School on Chicago's west side was tearing up courts around the city with his sick handles, deep shooting range and freakish hops, but he never got the national publicity that many of the players in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs received. Dion never cared: he knew his time would come eventually. After a breakout summer with Chicago Express and a great start to his senior season: that time has finally come. Dion Dixon is the best guard in the city and now that the secret's out, the sky's the limit."
