Simon Smith '21 Recruiting Profile

I am a person who makes goals - not only for motivation, but to achieve them.  I am passionate about becoming the best basketball player I can be - not only for myself, but for my team and school.  I strive to be known as a dependable teammate and friend that others can look up to in any situation.  I am a very unselfish player who can distribute and create opportunities for my teammates to succeed on both ends of the floor.

Having played center most of my career, I have a deep understanding of the inside game of the sport.  At the next level, I would thrive being a 3 man.  I am very coachable and can adapt to other roles on the floor.  I have a strong mid-range jump shot and can hit three's.  I am uniquely left-handed and pride myself on rebounding and being a vocal, respected leader.  I practice hard and play even harder, having been recognized for my efforts as the Most Improved Player at a regional Nike Boys Basketball Camp in 2019.

I am also a dedicated, responsible person in the classroom and understand you can't play without the grades.  To attain this, I keep high academic and moral standards for myself on and off the court.
