The Arizona Wildcats have a few needs to address this off-season. Guard play is one of them. Derek Dixon is a North Carolina transfer that played a limited role to begin last season but become more vital to the Tar Heels’ game as the season wore on.

Derek Dixon Visits Tucson

Dixon is a 6’5 combo guard that looks to add more positional size to an Arizona roster that will need to replace some of that next season.

Tommy Lloyd has done wonders in the transfer portal in his time at Arizona. Caleb Love, Keshad Johnson, Pelle Larsson, Oumar Ballo, among others. Will Dixon be the next player to take a massive leap under Lloyd?

PLUS! Names are flying out of the transfer portal, Sean Miller is COOKING, and MORE!
