Kyreese has found a way to keep active in the gym during this pandemic and if teams are able to play basketball this summer Willingham will join up with a top 17u team in Minnesota.
“During this time I have been getting into this church that has a gym and they let us use it, and I go and just to stay in shape and everything else,” Willingham. “This summer I will play for Minnesota Heat for Coach Tauer. I’m looking forward to going the gyms and improve my game and start lifting again.”
College football and college basketball teams are in regular contact with Willingham. He has a nice list of schools in contact and that list will grow if teams get to see Kyreese play this summer and fall.
“For basketball I’m hearing from Minnesota State-Mankato, Army, VMI, St. Thomas, and Minnesota Duluth,” Kyreese said. “For football I’m hearing from Northern State, Minnesota State-Mankato, Minnesota Duluth, Sioux Falls, Augustanna, South Dakota State, Bemidji State, and Southwest Minnesota State. I’ve been to South Dakota State and Bemidji State for football visits.”
When Kyreese starts to look into selecting his college options he has an idea of what he is looking for.
“For college I’m looking for a school that cares a lot about their education, that the coaches have good good relationships with the players and I like to play fast.”
In the meantime, Willingham is focussed on certain areas of his game he wants to improve.
“Probably my ball handling, shooting off the dribble, and defense,” Kyresse said.
