Robert Dozier, who prepped for Memphis University by spending the 2004-05 academic year at the Laurinburg Institute, had an SAT score invalidated by the company that scores the exam before scoring 540 points lower on the test the second time he took it.

A letter that came from a person claiming to be a faculty member at Lithonia High School (Ga.) stating concerns that the 6-foot-9 forward had a stand-in take his SAT in 2004. Dozier scored a 1,260 on the first exam. The University of Georgia asked Dozier to take the test a second time, and when his scored dropped 540 points, he was denied admission at UGA.

Dozier's 1,260 SAT was also viewed by Georgia officials as inconsistent with his other academic records. This SAT score had Dozier in the 76th percentile nationally on the verbal part of the test, and in the 89th percentile with his math score; Dozier's PSAT score from Oct. 2000 placed him in the 4th percentile nationally in both areas. Dozier was also a C-minus student in average college prep courses in high school.

Educational Testing Services, a nonprofit company that develops, administers and scores the SAT, wrote a letter to Dozier telling him that the handwriting on his SAT was inconsistent with handwriting on other documents such as his registration form.

After being turned away by Georgia, Dozier enrolled at the Laurinburg Institute, and he would sign with Memphis from the Institute in Nov. 2004. The Laurinburg Institute was often referred to as the "Memphis jayvee team" with future Memphis players Dozier, Joey Dorsey, Shawne Williams, Kareem Cooper, Chance McGrady, Antonio Anderson and Roburt Sallie going from the Institute to John Calipari's Memphis teams.

The Laurinburg Institute would come under investigation by the NCAA in 2006, an investigation that concluded in May with the school being issued a "not cleared" status, meaning the NCAA would no longer accept courses, grades and diplomas from the school over concerns about its academic programs and oversight. The Laurinburg Institute immediately appealed the ruling, but it has not been overturned.

Dozier was on the Laurinburg Institute's 2004-05 national championship-winning team, which went 40-0. Memphis went 137-14 during his four years there, including a run to the national title game in 2008.

Dozier graduated from Memphis on May 9, receiving a degree in interdisciplinary studies. Dozier is also a prospect in the upcoming NBA Draft, which is 16 days away; most analysts project Dozier to go somewhere in the middle portion of the second round.
