James Marsh '19 Recruiting Profile

My name is James Marsh III and I play for the Franklin Panthers. I am 5”11 and play shooting guard. 

Growing up I played many sports, one of my favorites being basketball. As I got older I decided that my passion was basketball and that the other sports did not compare. The reason I love the game so much isn’t because of the scoring or the individual stats, it’s because of my teamtes and working every single day with them to win on game day. Being a part of a Franklin basketball is like having a second family and I love every minute of it. 

I am one to work tirelessly inside and outside of practice. If I’m not getting shots up, I’m in the gym working for that college basketball body. If I were to be lucky enough to be apart of a college roster I can guaranty that nobody would work as hard as I would. Basketball isn’t just a game to me. It’s a lifestyle and a lot of what I do in my spare time resolves around this wonderful sport. 

Below is a statement from the ALL Gymrat tournament about myself.
