Xavier Johnson '16 Recruiting Profile

My overall goal is to become the best basketball player I can be. The feeling and satisfaction of being recognized as one of the best is one of my motivations and reasons why I play this sport and grind so hard. To play and compete at the highest possible level is my long term focus. Academics are important to me so to attend a school with stellar academics and athletics that will help to develop me as a student-athlete are also my goals.  I believe I would be a great candidate and asset to any team/system because of my leadership abilities(on and off the court),  basketball IQ, and my eagerness to learn and improve. What makes me different from other recruits is my mental game. In today's game, I've observed a severe lack of basketball IQ. Because I lack in height, I make up and then some with my intellect and pure love for the game.  I honestly just need 1 coach to take a chance on me and I guarantee they will not regret it.
