On Wednesdays we feature an in-state prospect who could be flying under the radar of college coaches. This week's UTR basketball prospect is Gravette’s Shylee Morrison.
Class: 2021
Position: Point guard
Size: 5-6
Stats: As a sophomore, she averaged 14.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.6 steals while shooting 45 percent from the field and 34 percent beyond the 3-point line
Interest: Tulsa, Oral Roberts, Harding, Henderson State, Arkansas Tech, OBU, Drury
Coach Will Pittman:
“She’s very skilled. She’s one of those that her ball handling and shooting is good. She’s a got a good mind for the game. She’s been playing for us since the ninth grade on varsity.
“She’s an outstanding defender. I think that probably gets overlooked sometimes. Physically she’s just a very tough kid. She’ll get hit in the nose and bleed all over the place and get it fixed and go right back in.
“She’s a straight-A student. She’s great off the court. She’s one I don’t have to worry about.”
