William Philpot '17 Recruiting Profile

The highlight of my basketball career so far has been being recognized as conference honorable mention during my first year of organized basketball while transferring from football where I started as tight-end to basketball as a junior, along with 5A Sonoran honorable mention this season. Last season I learned and understood how much my academics impacts my game on and off the court. After my first season, I learned I didn't want to be just a passing/rebounding big man but wanted to become more of a complete package and become an impact center/power forward for my team/school. Although improvements between seasons where made by no means do I feel like I do not have more to make and look forward to advancing my skills in the years to come.

I have loved my years at my high school even though we weren't a dominant team. I have learned the importance of being a leader both off and on the court and the value of teamwork. Commitment was everything last season, it has helped me to see the leader I can be and want to become. I would like to be part of a program that fits me both academically and athletically. I believe that I have the talent, work-ethic, skill and growth potential to be an impact player for the school that invests in me.
