Duquesne picks up another undersized guardNot many programs have done better with undersized guards than Duquesne as Kareem Rozier appeared in 32 games as a freshman standing at just 5’9. In the 2021-22 season, 5’11 guard Jackie Johnson started 11 games as a freshman. Finally, in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons, 5’8 guard Tavian Dunn-Martin averaged double figures per game standing at just 5’8. Walnut Ridge guard [color=var(--site-primary)]Dominique Aekins[/color] will hope to continue that success that small guards have had under head coach Keith Dambrot in Pittsburgh.

His only other D-1 offer was from Youngstown State

If he is Dominique Aekins from the Cincinnati area, he was honorable mention All Ohio boys basketball team last year. He is a 5'9" guard.

Averaging 17.2 pts. and 5.5 A after 6 games. Looks like he doesn't have to do most of the scoring this year 2 other kids combine for 31 points,

Was there ever an announcement on this signing by the school?
