Roy Enright Season 2002-03
#24Outlook
Roy Enright joins the Huskers and will fight for playing time in the low post early in his career. Already one of the Huskers' largest players before entering the Husker Power program, Enright should provide a solid defensive presence in the paint. Enright also has good offensive skills and moves well for his size around the basket.
Enright, who was one of the earliest ever NU committments, was listed as a top 100 prospect nationally by Hoop Scoop and Prep Spotlight during his senior year. CNNSI.com also ranked Enright as one of the top 20 high school senior centers in the country last year.<?xml:namespace prefix="o" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"?>

Enright averaged nearly 13 points per game while adding more than six rebounds per contest, as Burke finished with a 17-5 record during his senior season. Behind Enright, the Bulldogs reached the 2002 state semifinals before losing to eventual state champion Grand Island and current teammate Wesley Wilkinson. Enright was a second-team all-state selection by the Lincoln Journal Star and Omaha World-Herald as a senior. He also earned all-conference and all-metro second-team honors.
During his junior season, Enright averaged 14.7 points and 6.6 rebounds while helping Burke to the state tournament before finishing with a 15-8 record. He scored a career single-game high 27 points as a junior and added a career-high 12 rebounds.
