Doutrive also had offers from Georgetown, UNLV and Arizona State. He led Birmingham High School to the CIF SoCal Division II Regional Final where his team lost to Crossroads, which Shareef O'Neal played for. O'Neal, the son of Shaq, decomitted from the U of A after the reports alleging Sean Miller discussed on a wiretap a 6-figure payment to retain Deandre Ayton. O'Neal has since committed to UCLA.
Doutrive will join Emmanuel Akot, Brandon Randolph, Ira Lee and Alex Barcello and Dylan Smith, who are all set to return to Arizona next season.
