Ronnie Rivero '27 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals revolve around excelling in the classroom as well as exceeding expectations on the court. I aspire to contribute positive actions towards the team to further the team's success while also pushing my academic interests and achieving honorable grades. What sets me apart as a "good" candidate is my willingness and my determination. I believe that if you aren't willing to fail and nobody is watching to put in the hard work and hours of grinding, then you are not cut out. I spend countless hours indoors or outdoors, whatever the case may be, working on my craft and sharpening my tools to become the best player I can be. I differ from the rest because I care about my teammates and coaches, whether basketball-related or not, and I make sure to stick up for them as a brother because, at the end of the day, we all work together to win together. Athletically, I'm not the tallest guy, but mentally, I'm the strongest, and with my speed and handle, I can go off the dribble and make a combo to get a good shot or a good shot for my teammates. Academically, I can be the smartest guy with my quick thinking and independence. I learn to solve problems efficiently and understand the curriculum, whether it takes me some studying or just learning right off the bat. I have aspirations of one day inspiring others that hard work and dedication can take you far, and love and passion will help you achieve your goals.
