Jasin Ferati '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been an athlete all my life.  I started playing baseball at 5, by 6 I had added football.  I played, started every year of baseball (always an all star) for 11 years.  For football, I played and started both offense (receiver, quarterback, o-line) and defense (end).  In eighth grade I wanted to try basketball on a team and made the team at my middle school and quickly became a starter. 

After my sophomore year in High School, I decided to  play basketball exclusively, as I love it the most and wanted to have the time to get better.  I have a been a varsity player for 2 years, and started all 4 years in High School.  I have traveled on teams the past 3 summers.  The room for improving even more is great.  Aside from great defense, blocking ability and toughness under the rim,  I am a great role model and team leader. I understand about encouraging others, including the younger team members as well as those that don't get as many minutes.  I can ascertain what motivates players and can help in getting them to be more productive in the game.  Probably my best attributes are coach-ability,  game-play, understanding game strategies and competitiveness.
