Branson Durden '23 Recruiting Profile

I want to be able to decide what career path I actually want to pursue. I want to stay focused in all areas related to college/sports.  I feel like I would be a good candidate for a team because I will give 100 percent, I have a great work ethic, I can get along with everyone, I am very coachable.  I am constantly striving to get better.  I can take constructive criticism well.  I am a team player and am an encourager to others.  I am pretty quick in transition and run the court well.  I have a good eye when it comes to passing lanes/court vision. I feel I bring to the table a drive that comes from deep within. I would not say I am a natural athlete, back in 6th/7th grade I sat the bench a lot.  That set a fire in me because I was not content being a bench warmer so I worked hard to where from 8th grade on I was a starter and even played both JV and Varsity my 9th grade year.   My school closed at the end of my 9th grade year so I had to change schools and  being the new kid I had to embrace my role in a new position. My build-not being a real big guy you wouldn't expect me to do well in the paint but most of my points  are made from inside the paint.  I have had the highest percentage of rebounds for the last 2 years as well.  I have also played football from 6th grade up through this year, but we ended up not having enough people for a varsity team, but I still wanted to see the JV team be successful so I help coach the wide receivers everyday after school.  The main goal is for the team to be successful.
