John Stokes III '27 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing basketball since I was five years old. Since I first stepped on the court, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.

I have strong ball handling skills, strong physical defense, mental toughness, and high basketball IQ. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and assist my coach with leading practices and coaching other teammates to success. I strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

I work hard year round on my basketball skills, participating in basketball clinics, camps and showcases, then the last several years on an AAU/travel Team, also participating in years of Cross Country and Track and having strength nd conditioning coaches have all contributes to my athleticism.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA and was inducted into the National Honor Society and National Society of High School Scholars. I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the basketball court. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers, in my community and make my parents proud.
