MEMPHIS -- Antonio Anderson and Robert Dozier will both be returning to the University of Memphis next season, according to their former teammate, Joey Dorsey."I talked to Antonio Anderson," Dorsey told the Commercial Appeal on Friday morning. "They will be coming back to school."Anderson, a 6-6 guard, and Dozier, a 6-9 forward, both declared for the NBA Draft as juniors last month but declined to sign with an agent, giving them the option of returning to college."Don't worry about it," Dorsey said. "Take it from me, they're coming back."Dorsey -- who is projected to be a second-round pick but could go late in the first round -- also said that he has already scheduled a workout with the Memphis Grizzlies, who hold the Los Angeles Lakers first-round pick at No. 28.Anderson played in all 40 of Memphis' games while Dozier appeared in 37 for the Tigers, who finished 38-2 after losing to Kansas in overtime in the NCAA title game last month. Anderson averaged 8.6 points and 3.6 assists and is regarded as a strong defender. Dozier was UM's second leading rebounder (6.8 per game) while also adding 9.2 points and 1.8 blocks per game (second on the team).(For more information, see The Commercial Appeal's website at www.commercialappeal.com.)
