Ep. 13 LaKaitlin Wright | Basketball – The 5th Quarter Podcast with Sandy Adams

Real talk with LaKaitlin Wright: Growing up in small town Georgia, the legacy of sports in her family, the discipline of her mom as a coach and her own dual role as player and daughter. The collegiate level of hooping, her diploma and the daunting decision of what to do next. The realization of her own power, standing in her truth and the lure of the blues from the bluffs of the mighty Mississippi.

Wright comes to Memphis after spending the past two seasons as a Graduate Assistant at Clemson University where she helped the program in many different areas that included preparing and executing scouting reports, advising student-athletes with academic support and helping Clemson women’s basketball to their highest GPA in program history and coordinating aspects of team operations.

Along with her duties within the Clemson program, Wright played a major role in facilitating recruiting visits and managing information within their databases. Wright was part of a staff that acquired the Tigers best recruiting class to date, including 2022 McDonald’s All-American Ruby Whitehorn.

Wright played for two seasons at Towson University where she was named as a team captain and served as a member of the Team Leadership Council. Wright also served on the executive boards for the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the Colonial Athletic Association United for Change and Athletes for Inclusion, Diversity and Equity.

Prior to Towson, Wright started her collegiate career at Mercer University where she helped the team to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances while serving on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

Wright graduated from Towson in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Gerontology and received her Master of Science in Athletic Leadership from Clemson earlier this summer.

LaKaitlin Wright is the Director of Recruiting – Memphis Women’s Basketball.
