Columbia, S.C. — In one of Columbia’s most anticipated announcements, Spring Valley Guard P.J. Dozier chose to keep a family tradition alive. “My family and I decided I’ll be attending the University of South Carolina,” Dozier said Wednesday. The 6-foot-7 shooting guard Dozier is the son of USC great Perry Dozier, who serves as the varsity coach at Spring Valley. Dozier is rated the #34 overall basketball recruit, according to Rivals.com. “(South Carolina) has been doing a great job progressing in the program and getting better each year,” said Dozier. “I’m just blessed to be a part of that.” The shooting guard had offers from Louisville, Georgetown, North Carolina and USC.
