Five-star junior Gradey Dick updates his recruitment
Wichita native, Gradey Dick, announced that he will be transferring to the usual national powerhouse, Sunrise Christian Academy. Last season’s Gatorade Player of the Year in the state already holds many high-major offers and has also grown in both the height and weight section.
He has grown from 6-foot-5 and 170-pounds to 6-foot-7 then now 195-pounds. He’s been an impactful player for a Sunrise Christian Academy squad that has had several games canceled.
In last week’s Battle of The Rock event in South Carolina, Dick and Sunrise were very impressive. They opened up the season by playing in that event and they played outstanding with some help from Gradey Dick. He was around the rim, hitting his shots, running the floor well, and lastly, was playing with high-IQ.
Gradey took the time to discuss his recruitment with Stockrisers.com.

“North Carolina keeps up with me weekly. They haven’t offered but I like their playstyle and what they do with their wings.”
