Player Bio
About me
My name is Shane Skidmore. I play high school basketball for University High School and AAU for Spokane Flight in Spokane, Washington. As a senior, I am averaging 14 ppg, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks, while shooting 53% from the field. I am also an athletic football Tight End, with Division 1 offers, but I hope to play basketball in college.
What position(s) do you play? What do you view as your strengths?
I am a 6'8, 220 lb power forward with a true 7 foot wingspan. I am a team player and especially strong defender. I play well against players that are bigger than me, as I am often stronger and more physical than them and my long arms enable me to play taller than they expect.
What type of school are you looking for?
I hope to play for a high academic school, as I have high test scores (ACT 35) and grades (GPA 4.0 with 10 AP classes). I plan to major in chemical biological engineering or a STEM-related field. I am a true student athlete and school is important to me.
What are your interests outside of Basketball?
I also play football and am a 2-star recruit at Tight End, with D1 offers. However, I switched my focus to basketball last summer, after AAU BB coach Dan Dickau discovered me and helped me realize I could play basketball at an elite level. With this late switch in focus, I am still developing, with tons of upside, athleticism, size, and potential.
Closing Statement
I am looking for the right opportunity and hoping a coach can see my strength, potential, and work ethic as great assets. I pride myself on being a team player, with great instincts and a solid BB IQ. I grow quickly with great coaching. Please text me if you are interested in recruiting me.
