Former Robert Morris Star Amarion Dickerson Commits to Big-10 Program

MOON TWP, Pa. — After nearly shocking the world in the NCAA Tournament, the Robert Morris men’s basketball program suffered multiple losses to the transfer portal. The catalyst of the near upset of 2-seeded Alabama, junior forward Amarion Dickerson, entered the transfer portal on the day that it opened and now has found his new home, according a post on his X account.

The 6-foot-7 Cleveland native put a show on in his hometown and on national stage when the Colonials took on Alabama in the opening-round of the NCAA Tournament. Dickerson led all scorers with 25 points on an efficient 11-of-22 shooting spread while hauling in nine rebounds, six of which were offensive.

Dickerson enjoyed a historic and storied first season at Robert Morris and now looks to parlay it into a bigger and better opportunity. Dickerson averaged 13.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game and broke Robert Morris’ single-game block record twice this season.

He earned the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year Award, All-Horizon Second-Team honors and All-Horizon Defensive Team honors while helping the Colonials win their first even Horizon League regular-season title and first ever Horizon League Championship.

Dickerson’s performance against Alabama only accelerated what was already expected to a heavy recruiting cycle for the junior.
