Robert Kennah '21 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6’ 4.5” combo guard that hustles on both ends of the court. I have a strong work ethic, high basketball IQ, focused on basketball fundamentals, and I recognize game-day results are earned in practice.

I am a senior at Kent Denver, class of 2021, with an accumulative GPA of 3.95 on a 4.0 scale. My coursework includes honors and AP classes. I was recently selected to attend the National Advanced STEM Academy, a member of the National Society of High School Scholars, and was recognized by Kent Denver “Head of School List”.

I want to take the opportunity to share who I am in addition to a basketball player.  I have a unique perspective that pushes me to expand my boundaries both on and off the court.  I am grounded with the humility of knowing once I commit to a set of goals, I am accountable.  It is my goal to play basketball at the next level.  I am committed to both academic excellence and championship performance.    

I am a volunteer:

Volunteering is the best way to make the world a better place.  I am an active volunteer at Parker Task Force, I am an assistant coach at NBN basketball camps for kids, I volunteer at the Ronald MacDonald House, and I deliver meals-on-wheels (Saturday mornings).  I believe in helping people.  Ultimately, I want to be part of the solution to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

I am a leader:

I believe success requires a commitment to learn and to help others achieve their goals.  I believe being a part of a team provides me an opportunity to learn from teammates strengthen our skill set together.

I am motivated:

I am goal orientated in the classroom, on the basketball court, and on the baseball field.  I am a two-sport athlete (basketball and baseball).  I play baseball because I can shut down the middle infield.  I play basketball because it is my passion.  I have been told that I was too short for basketball. This drove me to work hard on my skill development.  Now I am a 6’ 4.5” triple threat. 

I am an athlete:

Developing my baseball skills helped the development of my basketball skills.  Just like understanding calculus helps me understand physics.  Being a student-athlete combines all my skill sets together.  I am looking for an opportunity that affords me academic excellence and being a part of a championship-caliber basketball program.  I believe it all goes together.

I am ready for the rigorous requirements to be a student-athlete.
