Kevin Witasick, Jr. '16 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was four years old, my dream has been to play college basketball. I knew since the first time that I touched a basketball that this is what I wanted to do in life and I wanted to go as far as I could with it. As I got older I developed into a dominate guard, regularly receiving all star awards and recognition at both the point and shooting guard positions. Coach Craig Scott, who knows my game better than anyone (see coach contact section) will tell you that I have great court vision, the best shot he has ever coached, can handle the ball very well, am a natural born scorer, and have "ice water in my veins" when it comes to taking an important shot. Whenever my coaches need points, they put the ball in my hands, especially at the end of a game. I can score from just about anywhere: I can go to the hole, shoot the mid-range jumper, and consistently shoot better than 50% from the three point line. 

I can create my own shot off the dribble or just hustle to get open. I can use both hands equally effectively. I am a floor general on the court, taking over games and setting the tempo that a coach wants us to play at. I have no problem finding the open man, and will not shoot an open jumper if I can pass to a teammate under the basket for an uncontested layup. I play both ends of the Court, routinely stealing the ball on defense and limiting the points of any opposing player I guard. I always give maximum effort when I am playing and I help to make the players around me better. I will run through a brick wall for a coach who believes in me, always showing that I am 100% dedicated to not only the sport I love, but to my coaches and to my team.

I make a great candidate for your team because I have no problem scoring, am a play maker who will always hustle and get my teammates involved, and I will work harder than anyone to make sure we succeed as a team. I am an unselfish player and will do whatever a Coach asks of me. I work just as hard in practice as I do in a game and I have been raised to have an excellent work ethic. You can believe in me because I believe in myself. Most importantly, I will have no problems with academic eligibility and will always be available to play: I regularly receive "A's" in my classes and currently have a 3.7 GPA. I want to play all four years and obtain my undergraduate degree.

I have always been a starter and I want to play for a coach who will use me as such, as soon as I have proven my ability and earned my minutes. Should you choose to honor me by giving me a scholarship to attend your college, I promise you that you will never, ever regret your decision. I would love the opportunity to meet you in person to show you what I can do on the basketball court.
