Nicholas Teixeira '20 Recruiting Profile

A quick overview, I’m a senior at Ludlow High School in Massachusetts. I have been the leader of my high school varsity team and have recently went after playing on an AAU team called the Springfield Trailblazer.. I think my best skill is ball control and passing. I am great at controlling the ball while dribbling and pride myself off not causing turnovers whether that’s dribbling or stupid passes. I  have great game sense and ball IQ which means I know how to play based off game situations. I am constantly looking at how to get the best shot whether that’s taking it myself or setting up my teammates with an open shot. I mainly prefer to drive in and collapse the defense which means that I can either take it myself or find an open teammate. My favorite plays to do are pick and rolls or pop and reacting on the defense. That's on of my greatest strengths. I am easily able to see and recognize what the defense is giving and attacking their weaknesses. I defense, I have active hand and I'm always trying to talk to cause turnovers and run in transition. Most of what I do on the court doesn't show up on the stat sheet but I am very hardworking and I know any coach who is willing to take a chance on me isn't going to regret it.
