P.J. Dozier Names a Top 5, Sets Several Dates

P.J. Dozier, a 6-foot-7 2015 shooting guard out of Columbia (S.C.) Spring Valley, has named a top five.

Dozier Tweeted that his top five consists of Louisville, North Carolina, Georgetown, South Carolina and Michigan.

His father, former South Carolina player Perry Dozier, told SNY.tv his son will visit Louisville Aug. 31 and South Carolina Oct. 17. No other dates are set at this point.

Kentucky showed “strong interest” in Dozier but has not offered, his father said.

The younger Dozier is coming off ACL surgery but is apparently thriving.

“He’s bigger, better, stronger and faster,” Perry Dozier recently told the Herald-Leader. “I don’t know how to explain it. It’s amazing.

“It can go one of two ways with surgeries. And he’s been blessed.”
