ZAGSBLOG: Dortch to Central Connecticut

Dortch was initially given a written scholarship offer from Wisconsin last spring after the Elite College Combine, but Wayne Valley coach Brian O’Connor said he was disappointed that Wisconsin coaches never called him to follow up and gauge Dortch’s interest.

“They get a kid’s hopes up,” O’Connor said. “I would think a school would get back to us and say, ‘Brian, what’s he thinking?’ ” Iowa also expressed interest, but in the end, not a single Division I-A school offered a scholarship.
