Joe Nelan '19 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Joe Nelan. I am a 17 year old incoming senior from Peoria, Illinois. My collegiate goals are to successfully have 4 years of schooling and sports eligibility as a student athlete. I would love to go to any school that would accept me as a person and my skills at hand. The title of the school is not my priority. I will go anywhere that fits my needs and aspirations in the classroom and my best fit with the guys/coaches on the team. I am a hard worker and have earned everything in my life and would love to show any coach how much I would love to play for their program. What makes me different is my work ethic, especially off the court. I put all my focus into grades as much as workouts or open gym. My grades mean more to me than anything because everyone's sports career ends eventually. My happiness on the court comes from winning. I will ride the bench if that's what is best for my team to win. If scoring 40 points every night is for us to win, I will do that. In the end, I'm a winner and care about the team and the people that make up that team more than anything.
