Ryan Linttell '13 Recruiting Profile

Despite my 6'4" frame, I have incredible speed, agility and quickness.  Having size, speed and strength, I am a formidable defender and offense player.  I have the ability to shoot from the outside or drive inside and rebound or dunk!  I handle the ball and see the court well. I am an unselfish team player and make great passes to assist my team to victory.  Recently,  my KCS Sr. Boys high school team won the 2013 AA Sr. Boys Provincial Championships after winning back to back  2012 and 2011 BC 'A' Boys Provincial Championship titles. We decided to move up a tier this year which proved to be the right decision as we've won 3 provincial championships 3 years in a row. I was recognized as a 1st Team All-Star at the AA Provincials which added to my 5 tournament MVP awards and Valley 1st Team All-Star I received this 2012-2013 season. I received the prestigious awards of 1st Team All-Star  and Honorable Mention All-Star at the two previous BC 'A' Boys Provincial Championships.  Last summer, I played on the U17/U18 UBCO Jr. Heat Basketball club team. Basketball BC selected me as one of the top 20 U16, U17 and U18 provincial players. I have played on the U14 Basketball BC Provincial Team and the U14 and U15 Basketball BC Regional Teams. I've been selected to Basketball BC Okanagan Regional Training Center the last four years. In order to play basketball at the next level, I work exceptionally hard by training on my own or with a personal trainer. Although I love to win, I never compromise good sportsmanship and try to maintain a positive competitive spirit. I was selected Team Captain for the 2013 season by my peers and coaches. I have been selected as one of the three finalists for the Male Augie Ciancone Memorial Award for most outstanding Student Athlete in the Central Okanagan.

My first choice is to attend a Christian university or college on the West coast.  I want to play as a freshman and eventually be an impact player for the team.
