Gokul Srinivasaragavan '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Gokul and I am a 6'0 point guard or shooting guard attending Dougherty Valley High School in San Ramon, California. My collegiate goal is to play college basketball at an elite academic school where I can get one of the best educations in the world as well as fulfill my dreams of playing college basketball. In the classroom, I maintained an unweighted 4.0 GPA both my freshman and sophomore year. My sophomore year I had a 4.5 weighted GPA and took two honors and one AP class, and am taking two AP and two honors classes junior year, earning a 4.67 weighted GPA first semester. I strive to be a leader on and off the court, demanding the best from my teammates. On the basketball court, I can provide a lot for a team. I feel like my strongest suit is on the defensive end of the floor. I am a very versatile defender who can guard any position from the point guard to the power forward. My sophomore season I played out of position on the varsity team and started as the power forward guarding people 4 to 5 inches taller than me regularly. I can keep almost any guard in front of me and play aggressively with intensity. On the offensive end, I am a willing passer who can knock down the three ball on a consistent basis. I am not afraid of contact and love getting to the rim and the free throw line, where I am a consistent shooter.
