Jacob Miller '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a young man that has been playing basketball since I was 6 years old.  Over the last 10 years, I have pushed myself both physically and mentally to become the best basketball player I can be.  I have a great work ethic both on and off the court. Our family motto is: "Work Hard to Play Hard!"  Four times a week, I wake up at 5 to go to the gym before school and then hurry home after school to practice my basketball skills and shooting technique.  The last three years, I was extremely fortunate to attend private shooting lessons with Coach Bill Stutz. This has transformed who I am as a player and as a person. Before this I was a stand in the corner and shoot kind of player. Now I am a maker. I focus on making plays happen, and then opportunities will open up for me as well.  I love the catch and shoot from anywhere on the court, then attacking the rim hard. 

My parents are big supporters in my education as well as my game. They want the best for me and the best college experience I can get. I am very excited to see where basketball takes me in life. I always tell myself ''Hard works beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard". This is very true and the story of my life.
