Brandon Smith '12 Recruiting Profile

I am a hardworking, 6'5" senior from Lansing, MI who realizes the priviledge I've been given to play high school basketball. Although just like with everything in my life, I feel I was given this privilege for a reason. To use it as a tool to teach me lessons like without hard work you will go nowhere or nobody makes it anywhere without the help of certain people in their life. My road to get this far was not easy and I don't want to let the work I put in go to waste by finishing in high school. I know my skills as a scorer, defender, and overall player can be utilized at the college level in a productive way.  The only question is where? This upcoming season I will be playing for Summit Christian Academy. The transition will allow me to play at the guard or wing and increase my skills to make me a more well rounded player. I am looking to attend a college where I can pursue a career in business or sports medicine. I'd be attracted to a college that also has warm weather year round, but this is not a necessity. The division 1 and 2 levels are what I have my eyes set on but they aren't the extent of my interest for colleges. Financial assistance however is in consideration as I search for a college as my family certainly has a need. I would appreciate the opportunity to be a productive player for your basketball team.
