Sharone Wright, a 6-5 point guard from West Florence, South Carolina, has verbally committed to play for Wake Forest. 247sports lists Randolph Childress as his primary recruiter.
Wright, a member of the 2018 recruiting class, is rated as a 4-star recruit and the 129th best player in the class by 247sports. The Deacs were able to land Wright over competing offers from Arkansas, Auburn, GT, SCar, VCU, UConn, Clemson, and Georgia. Wright had previously stated that Danny Manning and his staff were recruiting him the hardest, and clearly it paid off.
Wright is the first commit of the 2018 class for Wake Forest, and will likely fill Mitchell Wilbekin’s minutes in 2018 after Wilbekin has graduated.
