Austin Van Elst '21 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing basketball since I was 6 years old.  Since I first stepped on the court I knew my goal was to play at the next level. I play for Thornapple-Kellogg High School and was pulled up to varsity my sophomore year. I have been a starter ever since. I have good post moves and a soft touch around the rim and I am able to dribble, drive, and shoot the ball  well.  My junior year I averaged 15.4 points,  7.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. Also during my junior year I received All Conference, All Barry County first team, and Grand Rapids Dream Team honorable mention. During the summers, for the past four years, I have played with the Michigan Basketball Academy (MBA) on the national team. I am a great student as well, with a GPA of 3.7. I am looking forward to a great senior year! I would love to play for a coach that will push me to be my best and just know I always want to be in the gym pushing myself to become great!
