Recruiting Report: Erwin Weary (2018)
It’s been a rapid rise for Weary, who said that being cut by Edmonds-Woodway has helped fuel his drive to succeed.
And after a recent move by his family and an offseason spent honing his skills, Weary is now thriving at Cedar Park Christian of Mountlake Terrace, where the 6-foot-4 junior guard is starring for the Lions and beginning to draw college interest from D1 schools across the globe.
Weary compares his game to James Harden. He excels at pulling up in transition, but also has the ability to drive to the hoop. His long arms help him get to the basket and attract fouls to put him at the charity stripe often. His comparison to Harden doesn’t stop there. He is smooth with the ball in his hands, but can also be crafty with his dribble and footwork. He wants to work on shooting the ball coming off screens and his off-ball movement.
A regular at his local YMCA, Weary often begins training sessions by tiring himself with a mile-long run. “Sometimes I gas myself out before I train so I can work on my mental state, because when you get tired, your mental state kind of gets a little messed up,” he said. Weary then proceeds with a regimented routine that includes a combination of various drills designed to improve his ball handling, shooting and offensive moves.
Here goes some highlights from his junior year:
