With only a short few weeks until the Jamie Dixon era tips off at Schollmaier Arena, it’s important to look forward and set a realistic set of expectations. There is no doubt that since Dixon was hired, the buzz around the TCU basketball program is at the highest level it has been in years. Dixon and his staff have hit the recruiting trail hard since they arrived on campus, securing impressive commitments such as Jaylen Fisher (2016), Kevin Samuel (2017), and RJ Nembhard (2017).
The new coaching staff also has the benefit of returning the 5th most experienced Power-5 lineup, including Malique Trent, who led the Big 12 in steals last season, and Brandon Parrish, the team’s top three-point shooter.
