Athiei Bol '19 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to first be a concientious student and take advantage of an opportunity to attend a school on an athletic scholarship. Secondly I want to be the best basketball player I can possibly be and do whatever I can to help a team win. I think I am a good candidate for many teams because of my desire and will to win, I am willing to do whatever it takes to help a team win. I am different from other recruits in character due to growing up learning to put others before myself and accomplishing something together is far more satisfying than any individual achievement. As an athlete I'm different because growing up basketball was my favorite thing to do, I come home from school put my bags down and go shoot until my mom called me in. I have a desire to get better and I every chance I get to get better I'm going to take. As a student academically I believe that my parents instilled the drive for me to be the best student I could be first and athlete second. They always pushed me to be the best I could be and that's the reason I'm where I am today.
