jake Bucher '18 Recruiting Profile

I believe that I would be a good fit for any team at the college level due to I'm not going to look to be the only one with the ball. I like to pass the ball around and get everyone involved while setting screens and staying down low to get rebounds and have a big man presence in the paint. I am a team ball player looking to not just get better but everyone around me and putting in time at the gym. With all of this being said I am a 3 sport athlete and I take pride in getting good grades and helping anyone I can to succeed in life. I was recently stationed over in Germany for 4 years and have played European teams at high levels and as much of a success it was overseas with my family, it led me to this late process of recruitment once I got back to the US. However, even though I have been on Varsity since my Sophmore year basketball didn't come easy for. One Obsticale I overcame was being cut Freshman year, it motivated me to hit the gym harder and really going all out to make myself better and realize who I wanted to be as a person. By overcoming this obsticle it helped improve who I am as a citizen in the community and make the team. So any chance I get I try to help the younger kids either at my brother school or even at the park so they can reach there goal. Please don't overlook me by my late push to play collage basketball, Thank you.
