Kampe gets another one
"The Saginaw, Mich., native is transferring from St. John’s University.
ROCHESTER, Mich. – Oakland University received more good news on Tuesday morning when St. John’s University guard Larry Wright (6-2/172) decided to come and play for the Golden Grizzlies, announced by men’s basketball coach Greg Kampe. Wright, an incoming junior from Saginaw, Mich., is the sixth and final player in this remarkable recruiting class for OU.
“In my 25 years of recruiting, on paper, this is the best recruiting class we have ever had and by far,” said Kampe. “We’re bringing in a player that started in the Big East, was the team’s third leading scorer, and had several double-digit scoring games for the Red Storm. Most of the time when you get transfers, they are leaving because they are unhappy with playing time, but he was getting all the playing time in the world, he just wanted to come home.”
Wright started in 10 of the 29 games he played in for St. John’s last season. He averaged 9.1 points per game and 1.3 rebounds per game. Wright finished with 15 assists and played in an average of 18.9 minutes per game. His top game came against South Florida where he poured in 17 points on 3-of-3 shooting from behind the arc. He also scored 15 points against nationally-ranked West Virginia and finished the season with 13 double-figure scoring games."
