Jameel Morton '18 Recruiting Profile

Goals and Aspirations

My dream is to be able to work in the sports field.  I love and have a passion for basketball whether it's playing or as a fan.  My goal is to find a coach who is willing to help me improve my skills to it's full potential.

What makes me a good candidate for their team?

Being a point guard, you have to be a leader and have great communication.   I moved to a high school who's basketball team won a total of 5 games last year and this year we almost tripled that by winning 14 games and we made it to the playoffs.  I'm a proven leader that wants to help my team improve and make those around me better.  

What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics and academics?

One thing my coaches always tell me is that I'm very respectful.  I've been taught as a child to respect my elders and that has given me the ability to take what my coaches need and translate it on the court.  I've played on teams who has had 100 different plays, I've been on teams that let's you run your own plays and I've been on teams that play "street."  I'm adaptable and learn quickly.  And with my passion for basketball, it's etched in me to work hard on my academics.
