Rico Powell '20 Recruiting Profile

I love basketball with a passion. All I think about is basketball. I grew up around it, everytime I would be upset about something I would always pick up a basketball. It always kept me calm. Basketball taught me a lot of things. It taught me how to always keep my grades up in school because if I don't I can't play. Also, if I play basketball I can help my mom with  bills and stuff when I get older so everything can be a little easier because of all the hard work she has put in for me to be where I am today. I don't know what I'll be doing without basketball. That's why I hate the offseason because I love going to basketball practice/games everyday. However, I'm very smart, hardworking, I have a mentality that I'm going to outwork whoever they have in front of me. My goal for right now is just to be on a college roster, then after that prove to the coaches that I belong their. Do all four years, hopefully get drafted but if that doesn't work get my masters and start my own business.
