Michael Turner '20 Recruiting Profile

       I remember as a little boy sitting on my steps fervently drawing pictures for the police officers and firefighters who were battling a house fire next door.  To me, a small 4 year old boy, they were heros.  That day I knew I wanted to be a police officer and be a hero for other kids.

     At 6" 4 of course you will have the high school basketball coach come to you to say "your mine son".  Playing basketball is not only something I love, but it also allows me to influence other kids, younger kids, to play a sport I love while being good people.  

     My mom has always said, " God gave you your talent because he knew you would do good with it. He can take it away just like he gave it."   I try my best to be a good role model and show good sportsmanship because I want to be a positive influence on people.  Do I think I'm a great basketball player?  Absolutely not, because if your great at something then you have nothing else to learn.  Trust me, I have a lot to learn.

     I want to play college basketball and be a police officer for the same reasons.  I want to positively influence people and make a difference in the world.  With my hard work and dedication I feel I can truly be the athlete and man I was created to be.
