Raiders Sign Three in Early Period
Nov. 16, 2010

Wright State head men's basketball coach Billy Donlon today announced that three high school seniors have signed National Letters of Intent to attend WSU and play basketball for the Raiders next fall: Kendall Griffin, Alex Pritchett and Tavares Sledge.

Griffin, a 6-4, 170-pound guard from Avon (IN) High School, is a three-time All-Hoosier Crossroads Conference selection, averaging 13.3 points as a junior. Griffin also starred for Avon's high school football team.

"Kendall is a winner. I appreciate his approach to both football and basketball at Avon High School," Donlon said. "He will play on the perimeter with his great ability to move without the ball. He will be ready defensively sooner than most freshmen because his high school coach Jason Young plays a similar defense to ours."

Pritchett, a 6-8, 200-pound power forward from Bedford (IN) North Lawrence High School, was an AAU teammate of Griffins and averaged 17 points and nine rebounds in his junior campaign. Pritchett and Griffin both played for Spiece Select AAU team.

"Alex is a tough, physical post player who plays with a blue-collar personality," Donlon said. "He has great size for a high school senior, and he plays in one of the best basketball conferences in the state of Indiana."

Sledge, a 6-9, 210-pound forward from Brookwood (AL) High School near Tuscaloosa, averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds as a junior. Brookwood went 19-6 under head coach Thad Fitzpatrick.

"Tavares brings a combination of size, athleticism and skill that gives him the potential to be very special," Donlon said. "His coach (Fitzpatrick) has coached in the ACC, Big Ten, Big East and SEC, and he has really helped develop Tavares as a quality player."

Wright State will open at home as they host Northwood Wednesday night. That game will be the traditional Raiders Represent Night as anyone wearing Wright State apparel will get in free.
