Johnathan Albury '16 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing basketball for several years . My skill and knowledge of the game of basketball is very good. But I know there is so much more for me to learn and to improve on. I'm very passionate about basketball . And this is why am constantly working hard to improve physically,mentally and my skills. I also take criticism very well . I know that it's one of the many avenues to help improve my game. And that the coach only wants me to get better. I pride my self on my defense . I'm a strong believer in the best offense is a good defense . If I stop my man from scoring it gives my team a better chance of winning. I love a challenge . I never back down from the competition . I don't care how big , how fast, how athletic my opponent may be . They will be in for a fight. I bring hustle and heart every time I strap up my sneakers and step on the court. Offensively my ability to finish strong with both hands and change of direction gives me an advantage over my opponent. They never know which way I'm going. I like to keep them guessing. I'm working to improve my jumpshot and range, but by the grace of God and hard work I will get there. Academically I have a 3.7 cumulative GPA. I know that without good grades playing at the next level is not possible. This is why I work just as hard in my books as I do to improve my game.
