Recruiting Report: Zach Anderson (2016)

<p>Zach Anderson is still taking his time. He has taken some visits and been to colleges, but he isn’t ready to commit to a school or even a timeline to make a decision. For now, he just wants to gather information.</p><p>“I’m just getting a general idea about places,” Anderson said. “I just want something that fits for me and is a good fit for school and basketball.”</p> <p>Anderson has the shooting skills to impress plenty of colleges. Recently he has been talking to Hanover, Wabash, Franklin, Alabama-Huntsville and Wittenberg. He has a visit planned for Hanover on October 15.</p> <p>The colleges all see the same skills that have made him the No. 110 ranked prospect in the Prep Hoops Indiana Top 180. This starts with his shooting ability. The 6-foot-2 shooting guard has a quick release that he can hit with plenty of range to intrigue plenty of coaches.</p> <p>“I just feel like I take a lot of smart shots instead of just throwing it up,” Anderson said. “I feel my is a lot higher than most people because I don’t use both hands to shoot, I normally just use one hand.”</p> <p>That strong shot does come with a need to still get better at creating on his own. He has improved in that aspect and is also working to improve his defense.</p> <p>“I’ve been doing a lot of agility drills outside of practice to get stronger and get quicker to be better defensively,” Anderson said.</p> <p>This will not only help Anderson improve for a future college program, but also this upcoming season for Martinsville. The team has high goals with lots of talent returning this season.</p> <p>“We’ve done a lot of just senior led stuff that me and a few other guys get all the guys together and we go in on our own,” Anderson said. “We’ve been working really hard setting goals together and just coming together as a team.”</p>
