A.J. Makinen '19 Recruiting Profile

What will a college/basketball program get with A.J.: The college where I eventually go will be getting a student that has excelled academically, particularly in math, and whose primary goal is obtaining a degree. They will also be getting a person that has become a leader in the community of Muskego through positive example. The basketball coach that signs me will be getting a player that is skilled, reliable, and puts the team first, one that has been recognized and earned honors on the UAA shoe circuit, yet still looking for a college home. I have competed and held my own against some of the top ranked players in the country. With my shooting ability, I am always a threat that has to be accounted for on the court, thus opening up the floor for teammates. I also love basketball and am a genuine gym rat that continuously works on my game. My best attributes as a player have been described as follows: Exceptional shooter mid-range to NBA 3-point range, skilled at in-lane floaters, high level basketball IQ, elite dribbler & ball handler, willing screener & passer, plays within himself.
