 CB Yuri Wright Commits To Colorado
Cornerback Yuri Wright, the 40th-ranked player on the ESPNU 150, has committed to Colorado, his former high school coach confirmed Tuesday.Wright was kicked out of Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, N.J., Jan. 18 after sexually graphic and racial posts on his Twitter account came to light."This is a positive thing. Definitely a huge positive going to Colorado," Don Bosco coach Greg Toal told ESPNNewYork.com. " . . . This is an opportunity for him to resurrect his life in a lot of ways and a good opportunity to be successful at the next level."Among the other schools from which he had scholarship offers were Rutgers, Notre Dame and Michigan. A number of media outlets reported that Michigan has stopped recruiting him when news of the Twitter posts broke. Wright had taken an official visit to Colorado in December, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.National signing day is Feb. 1.Don Bosco sophomore running back Jabrill Peppers said he tried to warn Wright about the dangers of posting on social media sites, but was happy that Colorado "stuck with him."
