Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports initially reported the news and called it a "huge get" for Oregon.    

247Sports' national composite rankings list Dorsey as the fifth-ranked point guard and the No. 28 overall prospect in the class of 2015.

Dorsey could stand to add more bulk to his 6'4", 180-pound frame. Otherwise, there aren't many holes to poke in his game.

Although his position suggests he's more of a distributor, Dorsey is fully capable of filling it up on his own. Rivals.com's Ryan Koenigsberg highlighted in mid-January how hot Dorsey became as a scorer:

As athletic and dangerous as Dorsey is when he's in the open court or taking the ball to the paint, he also has the passing ability to create opportunities for teammates off dribble penetration.

A nice mid-range jumper sets up Dorsey to slash to the rim, making him even harder to guard. That should get him on the floor as a prominent contributor for Oregon soon enough.

What also helps Dorsey's prospects at the NCAA level is that he's older for his class and can take on a larger leadership role compared to most incoming freshmen.

Dorsey was among the last top-tier point guards to make his decision to attend Oregon, so the Ducks have to feel great that they stood out and rose to the top of Dorsey's list in the end.
