Ethan Ellis '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing basketball ever since I was 9, the first I ever played was soccer and soon realized I wasn't good enough to compete at the level that I wanted to so by the age of 9 I switched fully over to basketball and fell in love. Since then there hasn't been a week of my life I haven't gone without playing basketball. I would describe myself as an attacking forward who can shoot and create their own shot. I enjoy playing good hard defense and have no problem guarding bigger players inside in the paint. I like to bring high energy and leadership to every game, practice, and workout. In the classroom I try to keep the same competitive attitude that I bring to the court. I am currently taking 4 AP classes as a junior and plan to do the same my senior year. I love challenges in the classroom just as I do on the basketball court. I feel that I differ from other recruits because I take pride in the little high energy things that receive less credit, moving your feet to get a stop on defense, making the right pass, sprinting the floor, I feel like with that energy I will be able to help and push not only myself but anyone on my team at any level.
