Tariya Wright was one of the most impressive players to watch throughout the event. Wright brought toughness, confidence, and a complete offensive package every time she stepped onto the floor. What immediately stands out about her game is the way she attacks with purpose. Whether she is getting downhill to the basket, creating space off the dribble, or knocking down shots from the perimeter, Wright plays with a high-level offensive mindset that keeps defenders uncomfortable.

Wright also showed strong leadership qualities during competition. She played with energy, communicated well, and consistently competed on both ends of the floor. Her ability to impact the game in multiple ways makes her one of the more exciting players in Illinois’ 2026 class. She has the type of game that translates well at the next level because of her versatility and toughness.

One of the biggest things that stood out online was her confidence. Wright never looked rattled, even against strong competition. She embraced big moments and looked comfortable playing at a high pace. That competitive edge is something college coaches love to see.

Tariya is a guard who immediately caught my eye on Sunday with Example Sports Select 2026. She came out firing in the quarterfinals game, drilling a step-back wing jumper after creating space with an inside-out dribble. Tariya attacked downhill with an explosive burst and stopped on a dime to bury a pull-up jumper from the elbow. She drove fearlessly to the basket, converting a tough layup in traffic, and swiped the ball away on defense, then added another layup. Tariya was an exciting prospect to watch at our Victory Region Finals.
