Landon Kirkwood '16 Recruiting Profile

There were a few things that inspired me to start doing and competing in sports, one of them were my mother. She inspired me to begin my sport activities before I was in Kindergarten. When I got older, she struggled more and more so because she was there my whole life providing and supporting me I wanted to choose one sport and dedicate my life to her life by playing a sport I love and provide for her. Ever since she first put me on the court I was in love with basketball.

My academics this year were ok, Transferring for the first time was difficult for me. But I tried adjusting to my more difficult classes,being in all honor classes, by doing my work and making sure I am at school. My GPA was between a 2.5 and 3.this year. Next year will be a huge improvement.

I am different from other players because I have a score at any means mentality. In AAU it may not seem like it but high school I will dominate on any place of the floor. If I had to define my game in 1 category, it would be scorer. I think I have good perimeter shooting, ball handling, above rim scoring, and off dribble scoring skills.  This season I averaged around 15 to 20 points, 7-10 Rebounds, and 5-6 assists. My goals for this next high school season is to lead my underrated team to a state championship by any costs.

My Collegiate goals are very simple:

1) Get an offer from a Division 1 school for basketball

2) Get into a Division 1 school of my choice

3) Be the best player I can be at the school

4) WIN NCAA championship
