John (Max) Bilbrey '18 Recruiting Profile

I would like to get my undergraduate in pre-med and then pursue sports medicine.  Basketball is truly a team sport.  I believe that something that separates me from other players is a drive and a passion to play.   I say that because I didn't start playing the game until 7th grade.  I can honestly say I wasn't that good.   I kept working , going to camps, having private lessons.  My Freshman year I started, so excited.  However, my Sophomore year I had recurring lung issues and was out the year, including my traveling team.  I had to come back twice last year, getting  in shape due to being in the hospital.  I was released this past July with no restrictions.  I am currently playing Varsity and JV.   I'm a post player that just doesn't  shoot within 5 feet but can step out and shoot the three and the mid range.  I believe your hard work and a good work ethic pays off.
