Joshua Taylor '26 Recruiting Profile

So I'm from an all around basketball family on my Moms side, all of my uncles, my mom, and my grandpa played basketball, from what I hear my grandpa was really good. At least that's what he told me and how would I not believe my grandpa, my grandpa consistently helped me get better at basketball during the on-season and off-season. He taught me that when I play I must leave it all on the court and to play aggressive but not stupid.

 My first couple years of basketball were horrible I was uncoordinated and weak, then by the time I reached 6th grade I became a good scorer in the paint and started working out more often. I always say that I'm destined to be the best at everything I do, to show people that I can do it, although I know there are people better than me out there, but I'm always trying to get better at just about everything I do. On that topic last year was the best year I had, it was my 8th grade season and I led the team in scoring in the post season, during the regular season I averaged about 8 points but going to the post season I realized what I needed to do and averaged 13 points a game having 14 points against Lake Center Christian and 12 point against JFK.

 Basketball is the sport I have been playing the longest, 8 years. I've recently since 8th grade really focused on the sport realizing the potential I have if I try hard and put in the work, But all and all, I just love the sport of basketball and I would love to continue my career after high school.
