Quran Hoskins '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Quran Hoskins and I am currently 17 years in the 12th grade. I have always had a love for the game of basketball and football. I have been told by my mom and aunt that at an early age of 1 they noticed a special gift that I had when it came to basketball. I was given those little kids basketball goals and at an early age I was shooting and making baskets with form. So, I became interested in basketball to my knowledge as early as age 1. I started playing organized basketball with the YMCA at age 5. 

In playing sports as early as I started there have been many things that I have learned about myself, but the first thing that come to mind is the concept of playing team ball and a need to know it is not about me but about the team as a whole. I know I am a very unselfish player today and sometimes I am told to a fault. I currently going to 12th grade, so I am now searching for what my career is going to be other than basketball, but my current academic goals for high school right now is to simply maintain a high GPA and do my best in all my classes.

When looking at my young basketball years, I was gifted at a very young age, so as a younger boy I was always above average and my mom and dad feel like today that has hurt me in a way as coaches didn't get on me like that back then and I was kind of like the golden boy and it made me comfortable. Now that I older, the other talent I play against has caught up to my talent and now I have to play like I have something to prove, like I have to live up to the hype of when I was younger. The unique characteristics that I believe I possess is that I am extremely unselfish when it comes to basketball. Most of the players tend to be more selfish because they want to shine, but when it comes to me, I see myself as very unselfish and in this game, that is very rare. Lastly, the details of my life that I think has influenced who I am, is having parents that push me to be great and provide things and opportunities in my life that they feel will help me achieve that life to greatness.....
