“At the end of the day, that’s what he wants to do,” Jerrid Dorsey said. “That’s where he feels his future is. He really believes he has it in himself to to become a great point guard.
“He’s such a good scorer, but at the same time he makes the right basketball play. Playing the point is the right decision.”
Dorsey also held offers from Duke, Louisville, Kansas, Texas. UConn, Cal, UCLA and USC among others.
Arizona also has a pledge from 2014 point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright of Los Angeles Loyola.
