With the NCAA tournament this month and the rise of Chris Collins’ Northwestern, not to mention the success of Mike Brey and Steve Wojciechowski, we haven’t really talked about what Johnny Dawkins has been up to.
Well he’s pulled off a nice turnaround at Central Florida. Last year UCF was 12-18 and now Johnny D. has them at 24-12 and in the NIT semifinals where he’ll play Jamie Dixon’s TCU team.
Dixon has also pulled off a nice turnaround with the Horned Frogs.
Dawkins has a major luxury in Tacko Fall, a 7-6 sophomore who is likely the world’s tallest nerd (he’s said he’d like to program for Microsoft).
