Hunter Jones '18 Recruiting Profile

I have enjoyed sports before I even started kindergarten. My dad has always been a big sports fan and I have a brother and two sisters that played sports as well. I started playing basketball at the age of 4.  I played baseball from tee ball up to my freshman year of high school. I wrestled in my younger years and started playing football in 3rd grade. I still play football and play the QB position. I have also dabbled a little in golf and tennis. My family having 4 children playing sports all of my life, so it seems as though I've always been at a sporting event. 

Basketball is my favorite sport and I would love to attend college using my basketball skills to pay for it. I have played AAU for several shoe teams and I am currently playing with TYBA Team Vision in Berea KY. I've attended Scouts Focus, Blue Chip Basketball Camp, Cumberland College individual camp, University of Kentucky individual camp and several John Calipari satellite camps. When I was in 5th grade I won a free throw shooting contest for the Calipari camps and competed in the state championship free throw shooting contest for the state of Kentucky at Big Blue Madness at the University of Kentucky. I didn't win but placed 3rd. When I walked out onto that court with all the fans and excitement of Kentucky basketball I knew right then I wanted to play college ball. 

I would love to play college ball and get my education paid for and relieve that burden from my parents. After college I would like to become a teacher and coach.
