Luis Martinez '23 Recruiting Profile

I am the first generation of my family that is American. My parents came to this country to give me a better life. All my life I worked on keeping my grades up and making them proud. I am a team player, whatever the coaching staff asks me to do or whatever the team needs me to be, I will do it. On the court I like to think of myself as the guy who does the dirty work. I will do anything for the team and I will do anything to improve my craft. Whether its getting on the floor for a loose ball, playing ruthless defense, or out hustling everyone on the basketball court, I will make sure I am the teams strong point, and not a weakness. What makes me different from other recruits is that I am on another level of hungry.  Being undersized has taught me that everyone will doubt you and that I will have to earn everything that is given to me. This is what makes me different because it causes me to never stop grinding and improving my craft, until I am the best at what I do. My aspirations are a lot different then others. Most recruits want to play college basketball just to win, and be the best player, but for me, my goals and aspirations are to get a proper education, help the team win games by any means necessary, even if that means minimizing my role, and simply get better at the game of basketball. This is why I hope you take me into consideration.
