Elijah Mack '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello coaches, my name is Elijah Mack, I go by Jack. I've been interested in basketball since I was 5 years old. I started actually playing & training at close to 8 . I developed a lot faster than others my age, so I was forced to play a year or 2 older. It all worked out & I got better. Eventually the older kids went on to middle & high school, so I began playing with my own age. I saw the benefit of growing with a team & allowing my skill set to to make others around me better. As a team, we began to grow & we each bring a special something to my team that allows me to be better because of them & our growth together.  The Miners-South team is new, but me & my teammates have been together for 3 years now. 

I have goals & aspirations of playing at the next level. I watched 2 of my sisters play at the next level & how well they did. They are always finding ways to push & challenge me to be better than them. I bring a lot of guard experience & knowledge of the game. I'm a smaller guard at this time, but with my speed & tenacity, I make it hard for anyone I'm guarding to take advantage of it. With my speed I can push the ball on offense & create shots for myself or my team mates. I feel I have decent range on my shot. I shoot pretty well from three point range.  I look forward to learning my actual shooting percentage, as I further my career in high school. 

I am a leader & trend setter. I like to think my team goes as I go. If I'm having a bad shooting day, I try & impact the game in other positive ways that will help my team mates & make my team better.
