Jaden Merritt '19 Recruiting Profile

I am now 16 years old.(July 21, 2016)  For the last 2 years I have made a conscious decision to pursue the sport that I love,  Basketball!  I have had success by winning the State Championship on my 8th grade team.  From that experience grew a passion for the game and a fire to better understand all aspects of basketball.  My goal is to play the sport I love at the collegiate level, and use it as a vehicle to get an undergraduate degree and attend medical school.  I am a great candidate for these reasons: I will not be outworked, I will not be a distraction but a motivator, I work as hard in the classroom with a 4.0 to show for it, I have a deep faith that keeps me centered and focused on the things in life that make me successful.
