Sucks but not surprising. I just hope he's not one of the ones that goes to UCLA and is a 4 year pain in our @ss ala Darren Collison.

Some UCLA fans swear up and down that they are not going to be recruiting him.

I'm definitely interested to see where he ends up. UNLV?

Dorsey decommits from Arizona Wildcats

1 hour ago • By Bruce Pascoe

The odd fit between Tyler Dorsey and the Arizona Wildcats is no longer a factor.

Dorsey announced today he has decommitted from the Wildcats, saying "I rushed my college choice and did not provide myself with the greatest opportunity to explore and thoroughly investigate all my possible college options."

The big problem appeared to be that Dorsey wanted to play point guard and he wasn't going to do that at Arizona. So speculation built in recent weeks that he might decommit and the Wildcats' sudden offer to guard Allonzo Trier last week appeared to be a final message.

It was also interesting that Trier made the cut to 15 at the USA Basketball's U18 trials, while Dorsey did not, and Miller is an assistant coach for that team (though the roster decisions were made by both the team coaches and a committee of coaches).

Dorsey sent out the email to some media though not the Star. However, his father did confirm via text message that Tyler decommitted.

CBS has the version of Dorsey's email statement listed here.

Dorsey's commitment was something of a surprise in January, coming late at night when the Wildcats were in town to play UCLA and USC.

His decommitment leaves just Justin Simon left in the class of 2015 so far, though the Wildcats are pursuing both Trier and Isaiah Briscoe at guard as well as a number of forwards and centers.

UA coach Sean Miller said this week it is likely he will sign four high school players in November, then possibly add one as next season goes on.

If he winds up at unlv, I think that says a lot.

It seemed like many were ready for him to decommit the moment he committed.

I think this is best for all involved.

Seemed like Dorsey skipped the get to know you phase of the recruitment and went right to commitment.

I'm wondering what Zonacat's thoughts are. From his posts on TOS I know he was a big Dorsey fan.

JMarkJohns · Post by **JMarkJohns** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 2:22 pm

Wish him adios. I'll not fault a young man for listening to advisors, but he was sold SG and he bought PG. That's on him.

Nice to be back to a place where we only bring in those who want in.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 2:26 pm

It was obvious that the Cats knew and were preparing for this with their strong continued recruitment of other top level SG's for 2015.

I was really looking forward to having a scorer/shooter like Dorsey on board but I have nothing but faith in Miller and his staff making the right decisions.

He was classy about it, best for all parties. Sometimes the fit just isn't right, no reason to force things.

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 3:33 pm

not the right fit. already have anderson off his redshirt and simon coming in. even if we just add ray smith and rabb/comanche we should be fine. anderson, simon, smith, rabb, comanche and trier would be fantastic.

So it was a typical day that ended in 'y' for him is what you're saying?

midnightx · Post by **midnightx** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 9:29 pm

This seemed to be going down for months, so it is best to get this out of the way and move forward. Dorsey's star is certainly not on the rise and there is no need to deal with all drama 1.5 years before the kid even enrolls in school. Good riddance.

I'd be surprised if there was interest from any CA school, and honestly that's probably for the best. The kid needs to get away and start fresh somewhere.

If that kid would have said anything negative, we would have just countered with Gordon's mom and her statement . No greater endorsement than that.

Some Percy sock is making shit up? Great.

If Trier committed, we'd know it. You'd be seeing multiple posters here embedding tweets and providing links.

A lot of bullshit in general being posted on that site since the mass exodus. It's really odd that some guys who never really posted before are "breaking news" and providing detailed scouting reports on Dorsey and Trier.

Actually not that implausible for an admin to invent controversial posters in order to spark discussion, traffic, etc. Douchey, but plausible.

Brian Snow or Evan Daniels, can't remember which one, said they'd be surprised if UCLA recruits Dorsey. Which is odd considering that was Alford's alleged #1 target in that class prior to committing to Arizona

Interesting. 247 was projecting either Cal or Kansas, with no mention of Duckland. UCLA was also ostensibly in the chase. Hmm......no further comment.

Thanks, Merk. And while I'm at the Thanks, it reminds me to say thanks for your avatars. Your last one was so great I didn't think you could out-do yourself with a BDW new, but you of course have. Before reading every one of your posts I stop at your new avatar and laugh. So funny----thanks!

I saw Tyler play Stanley Johnson last year at Mater Dei.

Stanley reminded me of watching God play basketball. It was ridiculous and my love affair started then when he had this one block then dunk that made me mushy inside.

Tyler reminded me of a player we had back in the day...Chris Rodgers. A kind of PG kind of SG who yells at teammates and thinks he is a lot better then he really is.

I remember thinking I was not very impressed as he shot a ton and seemed to have a poor attitude.

The guy I also liked though was Michael Cage's son as he looked like a natural in the Post.

Daniel Hamilton also looked like a little wuss compared to Stanley that game

gumby · Post by **gumby** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 3:54 pm

When Merkin changed to the current avatar, I had to go back into therapy.

So Ty goes to the Ducks, who will be going without a point guard at the point. Good.
