    Tyler Dorsey has committed to Oregon.

    “I have committed to the University of Oregon ,” Dorsey tweeted.

    Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com was the first to report the news.

    The No. 26 ranked player in the Class of 2015 by 247 Sports, the onetime Arizona commit is one of the top scoring guards in the class of 2015, averaging 34 points per game for Maranatha (Ca.). He recently scored 40+ points in 10 of 12 games.

    Dorsey is the third commit for Oregon in the class of 2015 alongside Kendall Small and Trevor Manuel.

    A 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Pasadena, Dorsey is a big pickup for the Ducks, who will be losing top scorer Joseph Young to graduation when the year ends.

    “They want me to come in and get buckets like Joe does,” Dorsey told CBSSports.com.

    Dorsey was previously considering six schools, with UConn, Arizona State, Cal, Colorado, Kansas and Oregon all in the mix.
