Another former Fighting Camel is heading to Tucson.
Arizona landed commitment Tuesday from one of the top shooting wings in the transfer portal, Campbell’s Anthony Dell’Orso.
Dell’Orso is also testing the NBA Draft waters, according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.

The 6-foot-6 Australian averaged a team-high 19.5 points per game as a sophomore on 49.2 percent shooting including 38 percent from behind the arc. Dell’Orso also led Campbell with 6.5 rebounds per game.
Dell’Orso, a second-team all-Coastal Athletic Association selection, will presumably help to fill the hole left by Pelle Larsson.
The Melbourne native is the second Campell guard to transfer to Arizona under Tommy Lloyd, joining Cedric Henderson Jr. in the 2022-23 season.
Dell’Orso started 31 of 32 games for Campbell and was the team’s most consistent shooter. He scored double figures in all but three games and twice broke 30 points. Dell’Orso accounted for nearly one-third of Campbell’s shots.
Dell’Orso scored 624 total points during the season, the sixth-most in a season in program history. He crossed the 1,000 career points mark in February, becoming only the third Campell player to get there in less than two seasons.
Dell’Orso turns 21 in July.
