Both players return to school according to Jon Rothstein from CBS Sports. Brooks will be entering his Junior year after a Sophomore campaign that saw him neck and neck toward the end of the season for Pac-12 Player of the Year honors. Dorsey will be starting his Sophomore campaign after a Freshman season to remember helping the team to the Elite 8 in the process. He played a big part in the offense throughout the season with his ability to put up the three point shot and land it. Dorsey averaged just over 13 points per game last season for Oregon.
