Zion Shepherd '17 Recruiting Profile

Tell coaches about your collegiate goals and aspirations.

My goals in college vary from playing basketball to becoming a graphic designer or finding a job in that line of work. I have had my own company that specializes in design, logos, websites and photography since I was 14. 

What makes you a good candidate for their team?

 I am a good candidate, due to my love for the game and pure leadership on the court as well as of the court. I may not big the biggest or strongest but I will outwork anyone. I'm coachable and very athletic. 

 What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics and academics?

 I believe I am different from other players because as well as a basketball player I pride myself as a strong christian, people person and strong role model and teammate. You will never have issues with me on or off the court when it comes to my attitude, effort or buy-in. I also am a very dedicated basketball player, I am motivated to play basketball on the collegiate level and I will do anything in my power to achieve my goal. In my academics I struggle some due to my test taking skills but after years of trying different strategies, I feel I have improved in this area and am now confident in where I am headed.
