Tucker Thompsen '27 Recruiting Profile

I’d start off by talking about my mind, soul, and heart I put into this game. Kind of like a therapy for me. To me, I never thought basketball would mean this much to myself and my future. Nor did I believe it could take me somewhere or anywhere. Then all it took was one moment on in life, a feeling of escape, it wasn’t just a game to me anymore. It was a dedication, a competition, a jelouse, and vicious drive to be more and more hungry than any opponent ahead of you not only on your team, but every player you compete against. To outwork. To outsmart. Overtime I realized how competitive basketball can really be. Yes, you have to be the team you play with and the team player every coach is looking for. But while keeping that in mind their is an even bigger goal inside to make yourself stand out than any other player out there. And it all starts with the mentality you acquire through your hard work. Which is why I believe you never reach your full potential. And is why another reason I believe my mental dedication I put into this sport every night and day, online and off, in the classroom and out, will take me somewhere on and off the court. This is where my goals, development, strengths, and weaknesses grow. I don’t mean to add to much, but in other words academically wise i’m very interested in engineering which is what I would want to go to college for. I built a 350 and currently am working at a mechanic shop to ensure and progress throughout that career. When I upload videos I like the coach to get to know me as an all around player from my Academics, Athleticism, and how my game is Skillfully. So I will not just be posting highlights on basketball throughout my basketball career but my all aroundness as a player to be evaluated.
