INDIANAPOLIS - Robert Dozier of Lithonia High School in Georgia announced Tuesday that he would attend Memphis and play for coach John Calipari after next season. <br>
<br>
Dozier is a 6-foot-8, 191-pound forward. He averaged 9.3 points, 5 rebounds and three assists last season as he burst onto the recruiting scene quickly. <br>
<br>
Linzy Davis, who coaches the Team Georgia Elite AAU team, said Dozier first drew attention when he played with the U.S. national team in France. <br>

Dozier said he chose Memphis over Florida State, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Clemson because he wanted to play for Calipari. <br>

``It's a perfect situation for me,'' Dozier said while in Indianapolis for the Nike All-American Camp. ``It's close to home, I like the scene, I like it there and I like coach Calipari.''
