Joel Meske '20 Recruiting Profile

  I am a 7 footer who can shoot the ball and run the floor.  I literally and figuratively grew into my basketball skills and body while living in New Zealand from 2016-2018.  I am a kid with a big heart, living in a small resort town in Idaho.  I have seen and played different styles of basketball while living overseas and and after returning to the US.   Coaches who have worked with me have described me as a player "with a big upside" for development of the physical talents with which I have been blessed.  Due to moving around the world I have been challenged academically, having adapted to different styles of learning, and am looking forward to my college education.  I look forward to hearing from you about basketball opportunities at the next level of play.

    The 2019-2020 season is off to a great start.  I had 20 points, 9 rebounds and 8 blocks in a game against rival Grangeville High School.  A team our high school had not won against since 2010.  We won 49-39!

    I played football defensive tackle and wide receiver this year.  My first year playing football.  I learned a lot about toughness and leverage.  Our team played in the state championship, the first time in 15 years.  We lost 14-13 but I learned so much.
