About Gavin

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a versatile wing/forward who can play inside and out. At 6’6”, I use my size and athleticism to attack the rim, rebound, and defend multiple positions. I’ve also developed my perimeter shooting and ball-handling to stretch the floor and create mismatches.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I approach the game with a relentless work ethic and competitive mindset. I’m a team-first player who leads by example, stays coachable, and brings energy on both ends of the floor. My focus is on getting better every day and doing whatever it takes to help my team win.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I’ve grown as a leader by being a vocal presence on the court, holding myself and my teammates accountable, and setting the tone through hard work. Teamwork is a big part of my game.I focus on making the right play, whether it’s scoring, defending, or creating for others. Off the court, I assist with training and mentoring middle school players, and I help with community fundraisers.

Lightning, like Blaackar, has been the recipient of D1 offers previously but recruiting has been quiet lately and Gavin was hurt by having to wait for his eligibility to get cleared up. The big wing has only been able to play for 8 games but he’s had solid numbers of 15 points and 8 rebounds per game in those 8 games. If I were an in-state D2 or NAIA school, I’d be harassing him trying to get a commitment.
