Recruiting Report: CaRondis Harris-Anderson (2018)

<h2.September 2, 2015</h2><p>Though his recruitment has yet to begin, Waterloo West’s young guard <strong>Carondis Harris-Anderson</strong> has plenty of time left to dazzle prospective college coaches, and for now, he’s fine with his lack of recruitment.</p> <p>“I’m not really focused on that, I’m focused on being a better player and becoming a better person, and if they come they come,” said Harris-Anderson. “I’m focused on working on my game and just getting better.”</p> <p>This offseason while playing with Martin Brothers 15U, Harris-Anderson said it was his leadership that he worked to improve.</p> <p>“The thing I thought I did best was being a good teammate, keeping my teammates motivated to do better, and to never back down from other teams,” said Harris-Anderson. “I thought I set the tone defensively for my team, and I feel like my ball-handling and my perimeter game improved too.”</p> <p>The 6-foot-3 wing says that versatility is one of his best strengths right now, and that moving forward he sees himself morphing into a point guard.</p> <p>“I don’t classify myself as any position right now, I can play the post and play the perimeter. In college I see myself as more of a guard, probably a point guard,” said Harris-Anderson.</p> <p>“My strengths are my defense, court-vision, dribble-drive, attacking the basket, and using my athleticism -- things like that. I still need to work on my overall guard work though, like ball-handling and seeing the floor.”</p> <p>After a successful freshman campaign, one in which he averaged 7.3 points, and 3.1 rebounds, Harris-Anderson says his production will need to improve this season -- especially with the departure of Northern Iowa’s Lincoln Conrey.</p> <p>“My role this year is to be a leader,” he said. “The expectation for me is to keep getting better and to keep growing as a player, and just be better than last year.”</p>
