Lamb may be transferring to Mater Dei
Colony High School guard Tyler Lamb, who verbally committed to UCLA Aug. 25, may be transferring to defending state champion Santa Ana Mater Dei. The 6-foot-5 junior said a decision has been made but he couldn't confirm rumors he'd joining the Orange County basketball powerhouse. His destination will be revealed soon enough
"Wherever I go to school on Monday, that's where I'm going to play this year,"
Lamb said Thursday. "But I can't talk about it yet."
My feeling after talking to him is that Lamb won't be at Colony next year. He indicated that discussion of transferring has been prevalent in the Lamb household for some time.
"My dad always wanted me to go to a big basketball school," he said.
Lamb, who averaged 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 5.3 steals per game as a sophomore in leading Colony to a CIF-SS title game, has six scholarship offers: UCLA, USC, Arizona, Utah, UCSB and San Diego.
He and Los Osos junior Kendall Williams are the only two members of UCLA's 2010 recruiting class.
