Elijah Kirkland-Cuffee ‘13 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

    Hello my name is Elijah Kirkland-Cuffee. I am very athletic and a postive leader on and off the court. Basketball has been my passion since the day I first picked up a basketball at age two. Basketball runs in my family, my Grandfather was the legendary Richard Pee Wee Kirkland. He has taught me a lot and helped me with my basketball skills and teaching me the importance of work ethic and striving to be the best I can be. I have learned a lot from coaches in my life and I have tons of appreciation for the people who have helped me get that much closer to my goals. I am also very diligent when it comes to academics and understand the importance of a good education. I go to a college-prep school that is very rigorous in their academics and it has made me work harder and harder each year to succeed.
