According to Orris' AAU coach, new head coach John Groce's style of play became an issue, and Groce was surprised by the news that Orris decided to move on.
"He felt (Groce's) style would not fit the way he plays," Lidskin said.
He said Groce was "kind of shocked" but was easy to deal with during the process.
It is not yet known which schools Orris will consider.
