Steven "Hunter" Wetherell '12 Recruiting Profile

**Additional Videos Below**

I am a 6'4", 190 lb. combo guard with a 35" vertical leap, 78" wingspan, and 98" vertical reach.  I bench 155 lbs. and squat 205 lbs.  I am an 85% free-throw shooter, 60% three-point shooter, and average 16 points per game with a season high of 24 points, 8 rebounds per game with a season high of 10 rebounds, 6 assists per game with a season high of 8 assists, 4 blocks per game, and 2 steals per game.  I have taken and passed AP classes in the areas of world and U.S. history, literature and composition, and studio art.  I am a First Class Boy Scout, four-time Scholar Athlete, four-year Honor Roll student, National Commended Scholar award winner, AP Scholar with Honor award winner, and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme graduate.  I was selected to the 2011-2012 FACA Class 6A All-Academic team and the All-County Second Team.  I was also picked to play in the North East Florida All-Star Classic.  I participated in National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society as a vice president, and Interact Club as well as volunteer at the YMCA as a youth basketball coach.  I am a leader as a team captain and am an unselfish team player who works hard on and off of the court.  I make effort to remain positive and always encourage my teammates.  As a starter I play a major role on my team and am always coachable and eager to get better; I love practice and am motivated in the weight room.  I would prefer to remain closer to home in the southeastern United States but am keeping my mind open to schools across the country.  My preference is to attend a selective or highly selective school where academics is strong.  The NCAA division and/or conference that the school competes in is not important, although my goal is to play at the highest level of competition within my ability.  I will be applying for many academic scholarships and have applied for the FAFSA and am a NCAA/NAIA Clearinghouse qualifier.  I am undecided with regard to my major.  My desire is to be able to come onto a team where I can have an immediate impact.  I do not expect to start as a freshman or even a sophomore, but I do intend to earn substantial playing time as quickly as possible.  Team chemistry and the personalities of the coaching staff are very important to me, but I am highly averse to losing and strongly desire to be a member of a successful team.
