Idrees ElFarra '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Idrees ElFarra, I'm a class of 2026, 5'10 PG from Manteca, California. I went to school at River islands Technology Academy in Lathrop, and am going to River Islands high school in Lathrop. I have always had a 4.0+ GPA.

In my most recent school basketball season(Varsity basketball 2024-2025) I averaged 15.3 ppg,  4.1 apg, and 5 rpg, 2.1spg. I was team captain, and received the mvp award. I was able to showcase my talent, as well as show my true character as being a leader. I was always the first person in, and last person out. I am an all around skilled player. I can shoot pretty well, my finishing and playmaking are my best 2 parts of my game, and my defense is good as well. I'm able to guard all 5 positions when needed. My Basketball IQ is off the charts, and I know how to read almost every play, and zone possible.With me going to River Islands High School, this is its first year ever having a varsity program, so the class of 2026 will be the first ever graduating class for the high school. I was able to help lead our team to a home game for playoffs, and had 31 points, but unfortunately we still lost. I took the chance on going to a brand new school in hopes of building a legacy and something special, and that's exactly what I'm doing.

Everytime when someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I tell them I want to be an NBA player. They always respond with, well what if that doesn't work out, what's your real job going to be. I never liked when they said this, it made me think it wasn't possible. Until I realized that it is possible, and I want to prove everyone wrong. I want to be the person to say my job is an NBA player, it's all I ever dreamed of.
