What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“Getting the first glance at Gray, once certainly came away impressed with the junior guard. He absolutely screams toughness as a point guard, with his ability to break down defenders one-on-one, play through contact, and score from each level. His recruitment should certainly be on the rise, as a program will be getting a physical guard that plays with a determination.” – Patrick O’Brien from VISAA
“Michael is a strong and athletic guard who combines sound playmaking skills with strong scoring instincts and a pure shooting stroke. He finds a nice mix between creating offense for teammates where he uses a crafty handle, great vision and the ability to get to the paint almost at will while also piling up points himself by stretching the floor with excellent shot making skills from all levels and the ability to use his strong, athletic frame and quickness to get to the rim and score.” – Frank Bennett in 2018
“A high IQ and court savvy playmaker Michael controls the pace of games and demonstrates great leadership qualities and consistency. A strong guard with good quickness he can get anywhere he wants with the dribble. He’s an impact force on both ends of the floor.” – Phenom Hoops
