Jaylon Pugh '18 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to receive a degree while having the opportunity to play basketball for my college. I think the thing that makes me a good candidate for a team would be my dedication and drive to my academics as well as my sport. I would also say its my ability to build my team members up, even the ones with little confidence in their skill. As starting point guard its my ability to lead the team and control the floor and i like to instill confidence in the man who doesn't have any.  I am willing to do whatever it takes to get better and better each day. I constantly seek constructive criticism as well as feed back from my high school coach as to what i can do better each game. The thing that makes me different is the fact that i know i have a special gift/talent, and even though my entire school and town sees me as something great, I've always been taught to remain humble in character no matter how great others see me and therefore i don't look for any attention or acknowledgments. I only desire to play the game. I understand that it takes wisdom and knowledge and not just a skill in sports to be successful and this is why i work hard on and off the court. Thank you for your time and consideration.
