When Amber Gray arrived in Knoxville at the University of Tennessee in 2008, her hopes were sky high.
Gray had plenty of reasons for her lofty expectations before her collegiate basketball career even started. She had just been named Ms. Ohio Basketball as a senior at Lakota West High School, was voted an All-American by multiple outlets and the next step was helping the Lady Volunteers win another national championship under legendary head coach Pat Summit.
Gray was inducted into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame last month, but her road to being etched among the state's top basketball players and coaches forever was anything but clear-cut.
