Tanner Vogel '22 Recruiting Profile

As a son of two former high level basketballers, I was always destined to love the game. Fortunately my parents gave me the genetics, metrics and coaching to hopefully be successful at a sport I am very passionate about. My older brother is also a very good basketballer and has strongly contributed to my development over the years. 

Some of my accomplishments include being a member of the Western Australian U/20  State Squad to play at the National Championships in April  2022, I was selected in the State Western Australian School Boys team in 2021, however, due to Covid restrictions the National School Sport Championships did not occur. I am also currently training for the upcoming 2022 season and competed in 2021 as a rookie (16 year old) at the highest level in Western Australia, in the NBL1 West League (State Men's Basketball League). I was fortunate enough to be able to play meaningful minutes in most games. 

I played in the Western Australian Basketball League U18 Championship Division in 2021 and was the league highest scorer averaging 26.8 points per game.   

I believe I have the following character strengths and attributes that would greatly assist me in a College program: 

Character - Team member, courage, strong willed, and resilient . 

Athletic - Offensively creative, shooting range (ability to stretch the floor), good ball handling skills, strong rebound and outlet,  court vision and defensive anticipation (read the play).

Academic - willing to learn and try to the best of my ability.

I am looking to secure an athletic scholarship to further my basketball and academic aspirations.
