The Harlem, NY born, 5-foot-11, 165lb point guard, Corey Wright, Jr. is currently attending Marianapolis Prep in Rhode Island.
However, this past weekend at iS8/Nike Tip-Off Classic he proved that he still has his New York swagger playing with the Rhode Island Breakers.
After transferring to Marianapolis Prep, Wright, a senior, plans on staying for post-grad said his Coach Dave Vitale. "I have been Corey's coach for two years. He recently transferred from a school in Rhode Island. He will take a post-grad either here or with someone else. Right now he is a senior. I also expect Providence to come up on Tuesday to see him."
Coach Vitale spoke about his game, "Corey has great change of direction and speed he can keep defenders off balanced. He is a tough player that plays a lot bigger than he is. Corey can also finish at the basketball well. He plays best in bigger games, the bigger the game the better he is," said Vitale.
NYC Hoops spoke with Wright Jr. about his recruitment. "I have offers from Fordham, Fairfield, and Delaware now. Schools that are interested in me are UMass, Siena, Providence, North Eastern and St Bonaventure. I plan on doing visits in the spring and in the summer I will trim my list down," says Wright, Jr.
Right now, he just might have the right game that colleges are looking for, being the son of Providence former player Corey Wright whose team took the Final Eight in 1997.
This summer he played with AAU Expressions in the Orlando Super Showcase, Reebok Summer Classic, and the Eastern Invitational.
