Gray, a five-star recruit, is ranked the nation's No. 7 player in the 2022 class by ESPN.com and the nation's No. 2 point guard in her class. She also considered scholarship offers that included North Carolina, Ohio State, Arizona, Michigan State, Michigan, Maryland, Mississippi State and UCLA during the recruiting process.

Gray, a Division I first-team all-state selection, was the Greater Miami Conference player of the year this past winter. She averaged 25 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.5 steals for the Firebirds as a junior.

She shot 44% from the field including 37.3% from beyond the 3-point line and nearly 85% from the free-throw line.
