Zaid Dasuqi '23 Recruiting Profile

Growing up I was always a chubby kid without any Aspirations or goals , I enrolled to an academy mainly to use basketball as a tool to lose weight and fat at 9 years old, but suddenly I started Dribbling the ball the sounds of the grooves tapping the wooden floor had something about them that I didn't understand but fell in love with , I began working out everyday trying to better myself as a basketball player but really started taking it serious at early 13 years old , I started putting in work day in day out.  Early Mornings & Late nights. I watched alot of the professional players be it the NBA Or the Euro League and how they do what they love for a living , and asked myself. "Why can't I live that life?." "Why Not?".

My Aspirations Is to play basketball at a competitive level, And pursue it as a life long time career I Obviously have my backups such as Kinesiology or possibly go into PT (Physiotherapy) That's my collegiate goals, But my main focus is to play basketball at a competitive level.

The Main thing I'd bring to the team, is scoring efficiency as I Play shooting guard but obviously with great defense comes great offense so through great offense and defense I'd bring energy and spirit to the team, I can shoot and finish around the rim pretty consistently, and catch me a dunk or two when needed.

What makes me different when it comes to character from other recruits is work ethic, while my teammates are sleeping I'm awake outworking every single person I can name, On Saturday nights when they're chilling I'm In the Rec Room Dribbling myself to sleep.
