Julius Smith '23 Recruiting Profile

Jumping into the game of basketball at a really young age has helped me grow as a player and a person. I have learned to love the constant grind to improve each year, even each day. This is in all facets of life whether it is improving my jump shot, learning to manage my time, or building better study habits. I understand that it is doing the little things and building good habits that help you improve. 

When I was thrown into the varsity starting lineup my freshmen year that mindset helped me make a quick transition, so that I could make an immediate impact on the team. I pride myself on being a very smart, hard-working leader in which I can make everyone around me better. I have grown a lot from my freshmen to sophomore year and I look forward to continue to grow all the way through college. I am very confident that I have the skills, work-ethic, and mentality to play at the collegiate level. The love for the game of basketball that I have does not hurt, either.
