Richard McEachern '13 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play basketball on a Division I or II College level team. I have always enjoyed playing basketball and it has been my dream to play college basketball. I want to use my skills in basketball to further my education. I am interested in majoring in Criminal Justice and I want to pursue a career in Law Enforcement or Government. Basketball has taught me many things on and off the court. I have learned the value of teamwork, hard work, persistence and discipline. I know how important it is to keep my body and my mind in the best shape possible. Getting a good education is also important to me. I am willing to stay in-state or travel out of state. Financial assistance is also very important in my college selection. I am a very hard worker on and off the court. I always give my all in every game. I believe in working together with my teammates and believe in building up all the players on the team. One person cannot do it all. We are all part of the team and we are in this together.

I am 6'-2" and 175 pounds. I have played in the AAU Nationals and my team (Long Island Force) placed 14th in the Top 80 in 2012. I believe I can offer any college excellent basketball IQ. I am an amazing hustler and defender. I am skilled in getting open shots and I have a very good mid- range jump shot. My athletic goal is to use my leadership skills to make a positive impact on my team.
