Tucker Day '24 Recruiting Profile

Growing up in Indiana, basketball  has always been all around me. I started playing at the age of 3 in an Upward program at my church. I fell in love with the sport right away. I have played on school teams, Club Teams, and AAU teams ever since.  I can't imagine not playing basketball. When Covid shut everything down my 8th grade year - I didn't know what to do. Luckily I was able to go outside and shoot and do drills I found on YouTube.  It has always been my dream to play basketball in college. I shoot and do workouts daily to get me closer to that goal.  My Indy Heat EYBL teammates call me their "Chill" guy because I never panic. I always keep my head in the game, and stay focused.  My coaches tell me I'm coachable and they love that I'm always listening. Defense is my specialty and I'm constantly working on becoming a better shooter.  Being a teammate is my favorite thing about me.  I am working hard in my classes this year to get my GPA back to where it should be -learning online last year wasn't the best fit for me. When I'm not playing basketball, I love to do watersports.  Wake surfing , wake boarding, and jet skiing keep me busy when I'm not playing ball.
