Lauren White '18 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6’1” starting varsity forward/center from Wichita, KS and will graduate in 2018.  Basketball has been my passion since I started playing in 2^nd grade - playing in college is my dream.  Both of my parents are military members and, from them,  I've learned a lot about hard work, dedication, integrity, strong faith, and leadership.  I apply this to all areas of my life, including school and basketball.  

I love playing defense and consider it to be one of my strengths.  One of my recent and best defensive games pitted me against a 6’5” center and the other team's leading scorer.  It was a tough and physical game requiring a lot of on-court communication, but my defense frustrated their center to the point where she was in foul trouble and only scored single digits.  

Offensively, I am always working to expand my game in my current position and am working with a trainer who is training me in guard ball handling and shooting skills.  My team is number one in my books.  I have no problem passing the ball to set up the best scoring scenario and am not afraid to take command on the court.  Winning is a team effort, and I like to win.  

At the Wichita State University College Prep Camp, I won the the Post 1 on 1 Competition on June 18, 2016.  I learned a lot from this experience and am dedicated to do what it takes to make me a better player.  I also attended the Point Guard College at Oklahoma State University June 20-24, 2016 to enhance my overall basketball IQ, further develop my leadership, and improve my ability effectively play in tight spaces.

I am looking to play basketball at a college/university with a good Biology/Pre-med degree program.  I love helping people, so I plan to take my future career to the medical field.  My ideal team is one that works hard, values one another, and appreciates well-rounded players.
