Iowa filled one of its three available scholarships Wednesday with the signing of point guard Trey Dickerson, who submitted his national letter of intent Wednesday. Dickerson, who is listed at 6-1, 180 pounds) had committed to head coach Fran McCaffery and his program shortly after visiting Iowa last month.

Dickerson is a native of Queens, N.Y., and played at the junior college level last season with Williston State College in Williston, N.D. While there, he posted game averages of 19.8 points, 5.7 assists and 3.5 rebounds.

“We’re thrilled that Trey is joining the program,” McCaffery said in a statement issued by the UI Wednesday. “He’s an incredibly talented, quick and creative point guard who can also score. He’s excellent in transition and can also play in the half court.

“Trey has great feel for how to play. He’s a perfect fit for our style.”

Because he only played one season at the junior college level before signing with Iowa, Dickerson will have three seasons of eligibility for the Hawkeyes starting in 2014-15. As of Wednesday, Dickerson is one of three additions to Iowa’s roster with Brady Ellingson and Dominique Uhl both signing letters of intent last November.

With the previously announced departures of former Hawkeyes Darius Stokes and Kyle Meyer last week, Iowa currently has two available scholarships and has the option of filling one, both or neither this spring. Any scholarships not filled before the 2014-15 season begins will carry over into the November signing period along with the three Iowa has available to replace seniors-to-be Aaron White, Josh Oglesby and Gabe Olaseni once their eligibility is up.
