Spencer Smith '17 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I graduated from Goodpasture Christian High School in Madison, Tennessee (2017). I was a 4-year varsity point guard and 3-year starter.

During the start of my senior year, I made the decision not pursue my opportunity to play in college…to focus on by education in International business, and also wanted to attend a large major university. I now realize how much I miss leading a team and playing the game I love. Basketball is in my blood and I was wrong thinking I could walk away. My passion for the game is back and I really want an opportunity to play in college.

As a Senior, I led our team in scoring (16 ppg), Steals (3 pg), and Assists (5pg). I finished 5th All Time Assists (340) in school history and 13th in scoring (1107 pts). Our team was ranked #2 in State the majority of the season.

As a Junior, I led the team in scoring (17 per game), steals (5 per game), and Assists (5 per game). My high game was 35 points, followed by a 27-point game. I was named District Tournament MVP; 1st team All District; All Region Team.

As a Sophomore, I was named 1st team all-conference. I was our starting Point guard and 2nd in Steals and Assists, and 3rd in scoring behind our two seniors who both are now playing college basketball.

As a Freshman, I was lucky to play with a group of 7 very talented seniors and gained incredible experience. We advanced to the State Tournament that season and 3 of those seniors are now playing college basketball.

Also, I have been playing AAU basketball for the last 6 years.

In 2016, I played for the TN Legends which is one of the top D1 17u teams in the country. In my first tournament with the Legends, I averaged 26 points per game and scored a career high game with 48 points in the semifinal round. I encourage you to contact my coach (Timbo Hodges) at (615) 636-0256. I have attached our schedule to my profile.

Previously, I played with the Nashville Beat. I averaged 15 points per game over 30 games with a high game of 28. I also played 2 tournaments with the Nashville Cougars in which I averaged 22 points per game over 11 games with a high game of 32.

I currently have a 2.75 GPA and scored a 22 on my ACT.

I am looking for a college that will allow me to pursue my academic goals, with an opportunity to play for a competitive basketball program.
