Recruiting Report: Jake Kuhn (2017)

<h2>October 5, 2015</h2><p>After tearing his ACL last season and missing what would have been his entire junior season, <strong>Jake Kuhn</strong> decided to make the transfer to St Maria Goretti, where he has reclassified, and will spend his final two high school seasons.</p> <p>The 6-foot-5 shooting guard had been at Walt Whitman, and says the move to St Maria Goretti will give him a better opportunity to compete at a high level.</p> <p>“I am extremely excited for this year. Having transferred to St. Maria Goretti for high school gives me an opportunity to compete with the best and develop as a player,” said Kuhn. “Personally, I would like to keep my turnovers low, and make sure that my rebounding totals are top three on the team.”</p> <p>Already with three Division I offers in tow, Kuhn has exponentially risen to one of the most sought-after guards in the state. And he’s seeing interest from a handful of additional Division I programs.</p> <p>“I have three offers right now; Mount Saint Mary&#39;s, Air Force, and St Francis (PA). These schools as well as New Hampshire, VMI, Holy Cross and a couple others are recruiting me fairly heavily.”</p> <p>His recruitment picked up plenty of steam after spending his spring and summer playing with District Basketball Club.  </p> <p>“I shot the ball pretty well and defended and rebounded out of position very well. I saw the most improvement in just learning how to play at that level and competing against the best of the best,” said Kuhn, who characterized his style of play to <em>PHM.</em></p> <p>“I shoot the ball very well from 3 and can rebound and dribble well for my size. When I am on the court I like to be smart while picking and choosing when I want to attack.”</p> <p>“I do still need to get bigger in the weight room and continue to become a knockdown shooter, with those things comes a lot of time and effort but I&#39;m really working on it.”</p>
