Jakub Lloyd '19 Recruiting Profile

My ambition is to pursue basketball as far is it will take me.  I have had a thorough basketball education and have constantly looked to improve my game and learn from those who have coached me.  I am 6’6” and 198 lb.  I am a forward or small forward but can play on the permitter and play at centre.  I can defend 5 positions so fit well in switching defences and am familiar with many different offensive structures and set ups.  I am comfortable in both handler and screener in pick and roll systems.  If the opportunity is there to score I can score the ball, but I am happy to assist others and fulfil my responsibilities cleaning the glass.  I put myself on the line for my team and really love that aspect of the game and basketball life.   

I am currently completing my final year of high school (in Australia our school year finishes in November).  From then until the commencement of the academic year in fall 2020 I intend to work full time at improving my game and strengthening my body.  I have sat my SAT (1070) and am confident that I will get my GPA to the necessary level.  If I cannot I am determined to go by whatever route it takes to fulfil my ambitions.
