Carlos Parra '18 Recruiting Profile

The game of basketball has always been in my life and has become more than just a game.  It has become a lifestyle.  My parents grew up with a ball and that's the same plan they had for me.  As a junior, I have realized that I don't have much high school basketball left and I am very hopeful that it doesn't stop here.

I've always had tons of pressure from a young age because I was the kid they always trusted with the ball and it has still been that way since.  Being able to play with basketball IQ not only helps me with the way I play, but also effects how my teammates play and succeed.  I have always been smart and competitive in basketball and in school.  I strive for the best and am not willing to stop until I have success and accomplishment.

My goal is to keep playing basketball at the highest level after high school.  I look forward to being able to play on the court in college and professionals, but most importantly I hope to get a good academic career that I can continue to succeed, even after basketball.
