Zoë Gathright '27 Recruiting Profile

(Top 10 Small Forward in Kentucky in the Class of 27. Ranked 61 overall)

Hi, I'm Zoë, a 2027 SF from Charlestown, IN. I started playing basketball in the 4th grade, and shortly after, I realized that basketball was something I wanted to do with my life. I play both women's and men's basketball. My biggest goals are to play college ball and continue being involved with what interests me. Outside of basketball, I like to write, model, and read.

I am a commander in the classroom and on the court. I may not be the loudest person but my presence is loud and strong. I am a straight-A student, a member of the Black Student Union, NAACP, Journalism, and Muse (Louisville Collegiate's Official Arts Magazine), and I possess a 4.0 Unweighted GPA. I am the hardest-working player, and not just in sports. I believe that balance is best, and I must put in equal effort in everything to succeed. I take my education very seriously, and at the end of the day, that is what I will base my college decision on. 

I have experience and training in all 5 positions. l know the struggles and thought processes of the other players and positions on the court, allowing me to make good decisions for both my team and myself. Not only can I make good decisions on the court, but I am also a defensive-minded player, I am someone who thrives on offense but thrives even more on defense. I possess a strong ability to guard all five positions. I'm a player who always brings great energy; commanding, explaining, working, hustling, and doing everything I can to help my teammates and me develop and get a win. I am what my coaches call a "glue guy", as my understanding of the game, my EQ and IQ, my natural leadership ability, and my personality allow me to be a team player and help my team in ways that aren't just stats
