The 41st ranked senior in the state is itching to get back on the court this winter after a great summer that saw all kinds of college interest come his way.
“My summer went pretty well. I was with a really good group of guys which helped me with recruiting and helped since I did not play my junior year. I was so hungry and eager to play. Once I stepped on the court for AAU I gave it my all and did what I do best and now that is paying off with the coaches noticing.”
He has been on visits to Adrian College, Huntington University, and Wabash College and all three have expressed a desire for him to be on campus next fall. He knows of two more visits this upcoming fall to Anderson University and Manchester University although he is unsure of dates quite yet. It is a given that one of these schools will pick up a good player as the coaches have told him that he has multiple qualities they like.
“They like my leadership skills and how I make everyone around me better. They also like my decision making and knowing when to kick it out to shooters. My shot has improved and they love that I can finish in the lane.”
He has a plethora of choices for a future school, but he knows what he is looking for in a school which should help narrow down his choices as more schools contact him.
“I am looking for somewhere I can play right away as a freshman and help the team. I want to be a family outside of basketball and for the college to give me a great education for the future. I want it to be more than just me going for four years and then having no affiliation. I want a lifetime connection from professors to players.”
