RICHARD PITINO ON WRIGHT: “I am very excited about the addition of All Wright to our basketball program. He was Missouri Valley freshman of the year and had a phenomenal first season in college basketball. He can score the ball in a variety of ways, he’s fearless, and a tireless worker. We expect him to make an immediate impact.”
