To UA assistant coach Book Richardson, it’s no surprise that Tyler Dorsey went 6 for 6 from 3-point territory and Casey Benson added three more 3s during Oregon’s destruction of Arizona last Saturday.

Dorsey is a former UA commit who backed off after the Wildcats offered a scholarship to Allonzo Trier, while Benson is a Tempe Corona Del Sol grad who wasn't recruited by UA.

Now comes Dorian Pickens and Michael Humphey, two Stanford starters from Phoenix who both received recruiting attention from the Wildcats.

“Dorian Pickens and Michael Humphrey are both from Arizona, so you know those guys are going to give you their best,” Richardson said. “Casey Benson is from Arizona and Tyler Dorsey almost came here. Those guys play with a chip on their shoulder, and if you don’t match their intensity, it can be a problem. If you’re not responsible against any of those guys they can go off on you.”
