I want to play college basketball because of the passion I have for the game. The rush I get when the ball touches my hands, and the family connections I create with my teammates. To play at the next level would be a great opportunity, helping me become a better student of the game and leader in life. It will also help me gain a true understanding of the hard work needed to be successful on the college court and transfer that work and effort into academics and eventually my chosen career path. I believe that i have the mental toughness, IQ and attitude to be a solid contributor to any team, but my defensive play is what sets me apart from other players my age.
