Lucas Schaffhauser '17 Recruiting Profile

Hard work pays off. And it pays off very well at that too. Ever since a young age I knew I was going to have to work hard to achieve what I wanted. Every thing I earned was through hard work. All of my academic and athletic achievements both. I earned them through hard work. Every practice I put I'm hard work, and every game I work even harder.

When I started playing basketball I started with an inside game. Bankshots all the time. I have a really good inside game and a pretty decent post game for someone of my size. I jumped out to a midrange game a few years later. And that has been a very, very huge part of my basketball game. Soon later I moved out to a three point shot and that really helped me to become an offensive threat.

Passing also comes very natural to me. I always seem to find the open man on the court. Its very easy. Especially for my position. It's not as common among forwards to have a passing game. That's more common among point guards.

Defensively I'm very lock down. Both inside and out. Blocking shots and coming up with steals to create a fast break becomes common for me. I do my best to keep the other team from scoring if it's possible.

If you are looking at me for a potential spot on your roster, I promise you that I will work as hard as I can to help the team prosper in every way that I can 

I will be on top of all my classes and I will not have to be lectured by coaches and teachers everyday about not doing my assignments or studying. I'll do my best to achieve a high GPA and graduate college with a high GPA as well. My parents have made it very important to me that studies come first. And I'll keep my studies first in college to the best of my abilities.
