PLAYER QUOTE:

"I haven't been with the big named AAU teams and I haven't had people calling coaches for me to offer me anything. I've been grinding since day 1 and that's not only what's going to get me to the next level, it will make me successful at the next level." - Tyra Wright

NOTES:

Wright is a top prospect in Michigan's senior class. The game and the tools are all there. That much is obvious if you saw her during grassroots season with the Michigan Goonies. Any coach that wants a versatile guard that will influence a game on both ends of the floor should be taking a serious look at Wright. She plays the game with high energy and enthusiasm. Wright is the type of athlete that will maximize her potential. She surrounds herself with great people and elite minds, on and off the court.
