Avery Barnes '21 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing basketball since I was in 1st grade. Since I first stepped on the court, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.

I have strong ball handling skills, soft hands, and a high basketball IQ. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I volunteer at many places around my town and school and I am always doing extra classwork to stay on top of my academic game, on top of practicing basketball every day. 

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the basketball court. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud, and  most importantly, make myself and my future team proud.
