Caden Kirkman '23 Recruiting Profile

My long term goal is to either go to the NBA or become a teacher and or coach. Basketball is my passion, however I would love to be in a position to help others learn. I also hope to have a stable career after Basketball. I am interested in a school that challenges me mentally and piques my interests socially.  I want to attend a school with a very competitive athletic program. I love to be around competitive people. I am currently competing at a high level in AAU basketball and believe I am performing exceptional well.  I hope to one day perform at a professional level.

I think what makes me a good candidate for a team is that I am a leader among my peers. For a "Big Guy" I am fast, versatile, and able to play multiple positions. 

I am different from others because I am very selfless and put my team before myself. I believe this allows my team and me to be successful.  My first year with the Quad City Elite basketball program, I was invited to attend the GNBA top 40 camp.  I work out 7 days a week, I was gifted with a tall body but have to work at being athletic every day. I work hard in the gym and in the classroom. I have a 4.0 gpa.  This does not come easy and just like strengthening my body, I have to work hard every day strengthening my mind.
