Recruiting Report: Kam Modrow (2018)
Idaho’s 24th-ranked 2018, 6-foot-5 guard Kam Modrow is heading into his senior without an official scholarship offer, and eager to showcase just why he’s considered a top-25 talent in the state.
The Centennial guard says his recruiting didn’t start materializing until recently, and he’s hoping it all becomes clear by the conclusion of his upcoming senior season.
“For me, I’m going to probably wait until after the season (to make a college decision), recruiting started pretty late for me,” said Modrow.
“As for right now, I have interest from NNU (Northwest Nazarene), Idaho will come watch me, and a couple community colleges. My plan is to go to the best one for me, and as of right now I do not know.”
He added: “Towards the end of the season, I’m just hoping I have a better idea of where I’m going to go.”
Modrow says one particular D2 has been recruiting him the most, and the interest is mutual — but playing at the highest level possible is what interests him most.
“Right now, NNU interests me a lot. And the ultimate goal is to go D1, and if that doesn’t happen, I’ll go to the next best and be the best player I can be, and do the best I can.”
As his recruitment continues to transpire, Modrow will continue to sharpen his skills, and explained to PHID exactly what it is he brings to the table.
“My biggest role is to be the main player on the team; not only scoring, but involving other kids, moving without the ball and getting assists. My best strength is shooting, and I’ve been working on my handles a lot,” said Modrow.
He played with a couple of different grassroots teams this past spring and summer, and sustained a wrist injury in the middle of it. But Modrow was able to add 15 pounds to his frame, and is back to 100 percent, with some added weight to boast.
Now, as he heads into his final high school season with Centennial, which was runner-up in the 5A title game last season, he’s looking to lead, and get them back to that title game.
“My role this year is to be a leader by action and voice, and I plan to lead up back to the state championship, and to win it this year,” said Modrow. “I plan on focusing not on myself, but on winning every game.”
