Yeah, some reports out there say Dorsey and his father started making demands of Arizona and Arizona realizes that there are other players out there as good and better than Dorsey where they can tell them to take a hike.

Hope we get Jalen Adams. Think he can continue in the tough minded Roxbury PG mold that we have become so used to over the past 4 years.

Well he won't be coming here then. KO doesn't put up with that stuff. I still think its Adams as our #1 and the package deal for Newman/Stone. The staff seems focused and will move once those dominoes fall.
 
It's pretty easy with all of these recruits.

Either come to UCONN and be ELITE or go somewhere else and pretend to be.
 
We don't want Dorsey. I keep thinking Adams is our guy and I would also much rather have Newman, Briscoe, Brunson, Trier.

Say what you want about Dorsey but i can't think of two guys whose games are more dissimilar than mike bibby and Tyler Dorsey. I'm not saying that to be a jerk - I think you must have him mixed up with someone else.
 
.-.
From what I see he's just a shooter,doesn't create for others. I'm more excited about 5 other PG in 2015 class than him.
 
My feelings on Dorsey are that he's a shooting guard who wants to transition into a point guard. He's not too good at creating for others, he's a good shooter but streaky, average athlete. My main reason for not waning him over the other point guards is he strikes me as a kid who is close to maxing out his potential, I just don't see a lot of upside with him

Mike Bibby was a key part of a national championship team and then a first team all American. People on this board are just brutal.

Just stating my opinion. Superjohn said it perfectly. Dorsey is just an average to me. I would rather have T Sam or Cassell Jr running the show. This board you can't stay anything without people getting personal,just sad.

I think being down on Dorsey is a fair point. He projected as a top 10 recruit in this class and fell backwards, and doesn't seem to be a true PG. I'd still take him, but would probably prefer Adams, who while also is maybe not a true PG, seems to be on an upswing.

Invoking Bibby as a cautionary tale is what seems odd. Bibby won a NC, led his team to a No. 1 ranking as a soph (although they were upset by Andre Miller's Utah team in the EE), was part of some great Sacramento teams early in his career and was a very productive pro before injuries derailed him. If we can find a Bibby clone, sign me up.

But no big deal, really.

Right, he's just average to you. And when you think of average, you think of a guy who was PAC 10 freshman of the year, member of the all Final Four team, PAC 10 player of the year, 1st team All American, and #2 pick in the NBA draft.

Good one.
 
Jalen Adams is my personal guard of choice, but the "scouts" on the Boneyard hating on Dorsey crack me up. Dorsey is the best guard on our radar from a pure talent standpoint. For those of you here saying he has baggage compared to Briscoe, Brunson and Trier don't know what you're talking about. From all I've heard we don't need to hire his dad as an assistant and he doesn't require X amount of shots his freshman year.

You think Dorsey has more talent than Newman and Adams? Wow, okay there buddy.
 
Dynasty said:
I looked into it but Dorsey's decommit is a lot similar to Prince Ali's. Both committed to their respective schools early and then both schools added another guard afterwards. But instead of not recruiting anymore guards, both programs still recruited them and as result that led to decommit.

And that is why I don't blame kids for decommitting. I remember when Ray committed to us when UNC was recruiting him hard and Ray said said that UNC recruits over you head.

I was comparing him to Briscoe, Trier, Brunson and yes..Adams. Dorsey is a consensus top 10 player and top 2 guard so I don't see how I'm so far off base? And yes, more drama with all of the above mentioned players minus Adams who I've said repeatedly I hope we land.

Sounds like you haven't seen him play.
 
Quite frankly, I see Adams at UConn. I expect some clarity on Adams and the package deal by Sept.
 


Looks okay to me at all the tools - pass, shoot, handle, decent athlete - not saying he's the best choice for certain but the fact is none of us know who is……..I like Adams a lot but doesn't mean Dorsey won't bet better. Who's to know other than I'd take him in a second if he wanted to be a Husky!
 
I put a little more burden on the talented lead guard to lead his team. St John Bosco was barely over .500 with three elite prospects (suffering most of their losses within the state of California, so the national schedule didn't have much to do with it). Now some of that could be bad coaching, or maybe just as much Hamilton's fault and/or the difficulty that the two of them had co-existing. But to me, if Dorsey is a top 10 recruit and has two scorers like Hamilton and Jackson around him, I want to see the team regularly win. Maybe that's not fair to put that burden on Dorsey, and maybe Adams wouldn't have been any better in that situation against that competition. But it gave me some pause about Dorsey as an elite (top 20) prospect as a lead guard if he wasn't able to get that team to win in high school. Not enough to turn him down by any means - it just means that perhaps he'd need to ride shotgun in college and he might not think of himself as a shotgun guy.

I will freely admit that this opinion is based on no direct observation or anything and might be completely offbase - but the fact that Dorsey's stock is dropping, and Arizona has looked elsewhere, is some circumstantial evidence to support my hunches. But, then again, Boat was on his way to WV until they took Hinds and we got the better end of that deal, so I'll trust the coaching staff to prioritize properly.

I didn't get personal at all, I just don't think you've ever seen the kid play if mike bibby is your comparison. Their games do not resemble each other in any respect.

You never know what you have in most cases until they hit the floor with a Uconn jersey on. So many players do not live up to the hype and others like T Sam last surpass them.
 
Wasn't Dorsey suspended or ineligible a couple games for grades right around the hoophall this past yr? Or atleast that's what a cali writer said because he missed the trip to springfield.

SJB was 23-11 and 7-3 in conference with most of their losses coming against powerhouse competition. They finished the year ranked #7 in the state, #21 in the country and won the div 2 CA state championship

My bad - I thought they were around 16-11 and I didn't look it up before I posted. I didn't follow them after they didn't qualify for the top tournament so I missed their run through Division II.
