Casey Guard '23 Recruiting Profile

I am a small forward who can see plays develop and get the ball where it needs to go even when its not the play we are running. I am a decent defender and can get physical if I have to going for a loose ball. I crash the boards hard and look to kick the ball up the court after getting the rebound. Most of my teammates and myself have been playing together for years weather its AAU or park district always being asked to play up and fill in for some of the older teams, but with the team chemistry we know what each others skills and weakness are. I have always dreamed of playing at a D1 school and then going on from there to play in the NBA. The first sport I played was basketball and I wouldn't change that. When I think about D1 players I think people who can shoot the lights out and who can make posters of defenders, but what some of them don't have is the heart to be coached hard. In late game situations when its down to the end and coach is getting hot and you are feeling the pressure you may let that get into your head, while like me I've always had coaches get hot even in AAU and we ended up winning the game because we have the heart to not give up and will fight to the end for each other and for our coach. My "Dream Schools"  would schools like Bradley, Duke, Iowa, UCLA, ISU, etc.
