Moseley on Grady: “A Badger most of her life, Tessa is a quick and versatile perimeter threat, who is deadly from beyond the arc. Tessa has an incredible feel for the game and will quietly fill up a stat sheet. Her length and athleticism afford her the opportunity to take opponents off the bounce or post them in the lane. She has fantastic court vision and will make the other four players on the floor better. Tessa’s competitive nature allows her to impact the game on both ends of the court at a high level. Badger fans, please help me welcome Tessa to Madison!”
