JJ Horacek '25 Recruiting Profile

My college goal as I finish up my junior year in high school is to play Division II or NAIA basketball. As a sophomore I started all 25 games and as a junior I started all 30 varsity games and averaged 29 minutes per game. I improved in every category from my sophomore to junior season. For this season I averaged 9.7 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 2.6 ASP and 2.4 SPG.  My overall shooting was 40.5%, 3-point shooting was 37% and 2-point shooting was 46.5%. I continue to put a lot of time in during the season outside of school and practice and in the off-season working on my ball handling, footwork, and shooting. Whether it is in or out of season I spend 5 days a week in the gym doing this. At the end o of my sophomore season, I weighed 143 pound and by November of 2023, I weighed 158 pounds. My goal is to get to 170 pounds by November of 24. I respect the game of basketball and you can see in my highlight videos that I have a high basketball IQ. Sometimes you have good nights offensively and sometimes you struggle, and you have to remain calm, persevere and contribute in other areas. I had an off-night shooting in our quarterfinal state game this year and I led the team in rebounding and assists in that game. I am coachable and do what my coach asks. I have a 3.95 GPA and value my work in the classroom. I am coachable and do what is asked of me by my coach. Please reach out to Coach Chavez at 505.240.4700 or [email protected] and he will give you greater insight into what type of person and player I am.
