Spencer Karsseboom '23 Recruiting Profile

My main goal is to play college basketball at the highest level possible. Not only do I wanna be successful in my athletics, but I also take my academics very seriously and I wanna be recognized as a student-athlete. What makes me a good candidate for your team is that I am very hardworking and always love to be in the gym competing and becoming a better athlete and overall player, I'm never satisfied with myself and am always looking for ways to improve my game. What makes me different from other recruits is that I feel like there are many talented athletes that are good at their sport  but they lack in their academics and can never go as far as they want to. Academics to me are really important and I feel like if you are wanting to be a collegiate athlete you are not only going to need to be a talented athlete but also a talented student in the classroom. When it comes to getting on the court, my biggest strength is my 3pt shot, I can shoot it on the pull up, 3 feet behind the line, after making a move, I can pull off the shot whenever I want and I'm confident in doing so. I also feel like another one of my strengths would have to be my vision and passing, I can grab a rebound and throw a full court pass to open guys down the court with good pace and accuracy and I can push the ball in transition and find the open guy to knock down the open shot. I love running the court and playing at a fast pace! My ball handling is also another one of my strengths, it allows me to break guys down and attack the hoop to either score or kick it out to an open guy so that he can make a play. As every player has many strengths, each of us all have weaknesses as well. One of the areas I am looking to improve in would be defense, I can guard on the ball good and have great length to get tips and steals but I wanna improve my quickness and feet so I can move faster when defending.
