Maxwell Purushothaman '24 Recruiting Profile

As soon as I watched my first game of college basketball, I knew that it was what I wanted to do when I grew up.  So, I put all my eggs in the basket and trained as hard as I could. This motivation of mine has helped me climb closer to my goals and has continued to elevate me higher and higher. I have been coached by coaches who played at the highest level and have trained collegiate athletes, as well. Basketball has taught me how to sustain a high level of commitment throughout my academics, as well. I am now enrolled in multiple AP classes at West Lake High School and have completed and earned credits for 5 Regents courses. My achievements in basketball include playing for NY Lightning Select which is a program with an EYBL team, making varsity as a freshman at my previous school in New York, and playing in the Hoop Group circuit over the summer of 2021. My ultimate goal would be to receive an athletic scholarship to play in college at the highest level. In recruiting me, you will get a scrappy and tough defender while also being able to knock down shots from the outside and finish strong at the rim. I continue to work at my goals and hope to add an athletic scholarship to my basketball achievements.
