OLUWALOGBON BELL '24 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals and aspirations are firmly centered around the game of basketball. I am a team player and I firmly believe that I stand out as a compelling candidate in terms of character, athletics, and academics.

In terms of athletics, I bring not only talent but also relentless dedication. My versatility on the court, composure under pressure, and adaptability are my strengths. I am a player who thrives in critical moments and consistently puts the team first. My skills and instincts are so finely tuned that I have a reflexive response to situations that allows me to attack and defend without thinking. In other words, I am always in the zone. 

I don't rely on talent to get the job done; just a sheer will and determination to win every time and I never stop learning because I know that instincts and talents without technique just makes you reckless.

Character is at the core of my identity. I lead by example, fostering a positive team culture, both on and off the court. I am committed to community service, reflecting my dedication to making a difference beyond basketball. My confidence in my game stems from the knowledge that I have worked harder and smarter than the next guy. I believe that fear is just a product of not being prepared so I work everyday to improve and add to my arsenal.

Academically, I've maintained a strong GPA throughout high school, showcasing my ability to excel both in academics and athletics. I understand the importance of time management and discipline. I understand how much attention I should devote to my sports and academics in order to avoid falling behind. I am currently in the final year of my 4 years university degree B.sc Banking and Finance and I aim to do another degree in Computer sciences before pursuing my masters degree.

Finally, My greatest fear is to be ordinary and to be forgotten. That is why I want to be legendary; I want to study, expand my skillset and play against the highest level of competition. I am confident that I can be amongst the gods of this game. This is what drives and motivates me everyday.
