Patrick Murphy, the president of Mater Dei, confirmed Wednesday that 6-foot-4 junior guard Tyler Lamb of Ontario Colony has filed paperwork to enroll at Mater Dei and is going through the admission process. A final decision should come this week.

Lamb, who averaged 27 points last season for Colony, committed to UCLA last month. His arrival at Mater Dei would give the Monarchs one of their most talented starting fives in school history. The Wear brothers, David and Travis, have committed to North Carolina. Andy Brown is being recruited by Arizona. And junior Gary Franklin is another top prospect.

‘It would be a very formidable team,’ Mater Dei Coach Gary McKnight said.

Lamb would have to change his residence to be eligible immediately.
