Elijah Kirwan '26 Recruiting Profile

I can adapt to any roll needed to help the team win. Have leader skills on and off the court, currently a team captain for my varsity team and class president of the junior class at Bishop Manogue. I take on any challenge on and off the court. Have a 4.025 GPA and push myself in the classroom by taking honor and AP classes. I am coachable and can take the criticism and I can always adapt my game to the team I play on. I'm also a great Teamate, never have problems with my teammates and I tend to build up a quick chemistry with new teammates, whether on a team, or at a camp. I get to know the other kids very well and have been told that I'm a easy person to play with and to talk to. I also love building relationships with my teammates off the court. Some of my current teammates on my varsity team are some of my best friends. I also have a great attention to detail, not just during the game but during game week. I can lock in on watching film and pay attention to players habits and I can pick up little things that they do and I can adapt my game around how to guard it, how to attack it, or how to make a play around it. I have been around the game for a very long time, I have gone through many ups and downs on the game, and now, I am at a steady spot in my game. I can handle it mentally and stay level headed when faced with adversity and I stay level headed when we lose all momentum in a stretch during the game. By me keeping my level head I do not get fazed easily and can change the momentum of the game right back to our side. I really excel in my defense and my playmaking. Those are my main attributes. I'm not afraid to do some dirty work and get on the floor. I can get to the rim and the paint fairly quickly, being able to break my defender down. I also can catch and shoot 3's as a spot up shooter, being able to adapt to being on ball or off ball guard. I can create and find my own shots only if I can't create for my other teammates as well. There are many other traits and qualities that I have that I can't list all on here, but these are indeed some of my main strengths and skills.
