Darien Pino '25 Recruiting Profile

My goal and aspiration is to play college basketball and to be selected in the NBA or G-league. The reason for this is because at age of 10, I was inspired by Michael Jordan. The way he played the game and his passion for the game motivated me to follow his footsteps. I have taken a lot of effort in learning new skills and strengthening those I already have. I currently play as part of my High School basketball team. I’m the point guard and the shooting guard. What makes me a good candidate for the team is that I can play two positions. As I mentioned, I have experience as a point guard and shooting guard from the Junior varsity basketball team. Furthermore, what makes me different from other recruits in character, is that I work hard everyday to improve on my basketball skills to become a better player in the future. Additionally, what distinguishes me athletically and academically from other recruits is that I put a lot of effort into accomplishing my objectives because my dream is to make it possible one day.Finally, I take a lot of pride in facing sports challenges as a learning experience. I continue to try until I master my best version.
