Eric Jordan '19 Recruiting Profile

My goal at the collegiate level most importantly, is to be very successful. In other detailed words, I want to perfect my craft(basketball) as much as possible, become a better player individually and a better teammate cohesively. I want to be able to compete at a high level academically and athletically. I want to be able to push myself to very high standards and create bigger limits for myself. In life, I want to be able to help others and become a great leader which is two reasons why I want to pursue the dream of becoming a NBA professional basketball player. My goals are basically simple as you can see; I want to be a NBA player, I want to be successful, love and take care of people and enjoy life with my family. I feel that I can make a huge impact to multiple teams at the collegiate level because of not only my skills as a basketball player but my characteristics and representation of a person. I'm a down to earth type of person, I can be outgoing, not a party person, I keep a small circle and I don't get into or cause any trouble. As of means of the court, I can shoot the ball at a very high level from anywhere, I can drive at will and I have a good eye for my teammates. I can handle the ball pretty well but I can always improve in that aspect. My motor is always running and I love playing basketball to the point where I can do this all day at any time of day in any apparel. As for academics, I started off my first two high school years slow but progressed as I made the transition from St. Joseph high school to Providence St. Mel on the west side of Chicago, I've truly worked hard to try to get better grades and build better study habits. At PSM(Providence St. Mel), there are harder standards to meet and probably the most challenging school in my life but it has made me a better student athlete. Cumulatively, I sit at a 2.4, but I know I'm way more capable than that to do better but my plan is to keep pushing and never give up on anything. What makes me different is my passion and how bad I want to meet my goals. I'm different because I know whatever happens here on out, I know that it came from the man above. I have a never give up attitude, I have pride in everything I do and I'm a very tough competitor no matter what the subject is.
