Wasn't expecting this today as he was supposed to be committing on Friday. Big-time get for Oregon as I've seen him compared to De'Aaron Fox. He should really help out in getting other top 2022 guys such as Cruz and Lloyd. Seems Crutchfield played a major role in his recruitment.

Wow. Perhaps the most surprising commit in Ducks basketball history. Didn't even have him on the radar.
Well with Richardson as a senior, and Harmon not likely to last after a year, it does make a lot of sense. He will be the guy. Welcome! Hope his commitment sticks.

He's bounced around to several high schools over the years and decommitted from Syracuse so lets see if this sticks and if his academic transcripts check out.

his highlights don't give the impression that he is the #1 ranked PG

Can’t say I disagree, being the #1 ranked PG I expected an elite prospect, nothing about his highlights blew me away. A pretty good passes and shooter, though not very athletic/explosive. His best attribute seems to be his ball handling, if anything blew me away me it was his ball handling.dd10snoop28 wrote:his highlights don't give the impression that he is the #1 ranked PG

^ I actually thought his handle was pretty loose for a 5 star prospect.
Hopefully he really is the next De'Aron Fox though

He plays pretty gathered. He's not exceptional quick or athletic, but he has a good frame and is stronger than he looks.
I could see why he's a top 10 PG, but definitely doesn't pop out as the best PG in the nation. Perhaps he has a very high IQ and is highly efficient (ie the things we don't see in highlights).

Man he actually reminds me a lot of Tyler Dorsey. Doesn't look big, but can rebound and bang inside. Anyway, hope he sticks with Oregon, top 15 talent is always welcomed here.

Welcome to the flock, Dior! Excited to see you play in the green and yellow! He talks about his decision and does address the issue of his moving about in the following article:

Also have to take into account that he is class of 2022 and I’m assuming some of these highlights are old, due to fans being in attendance. These could be from his sophomore year, or earlier.
