Bilal Soufan '16 Recruiting Profile

Firstly, the most important factors that shaped my dreams and aspirations were my surroundings and support system. Particularly my family and community. My family members have been strong positive role models and helping to shape me as a person. For example my Uncle was a standout basketball player in High School, and played at Boston University, Also my father played at Lake Superior State University. Sports, especially basketball has always been my passion, and also contributed significantly to my development as a person. I have always put my academics first, in my household if i don't carry a 3.5 or higher G.P.A. I won't be allowed to play the sport I love.  Basketball has helped me develop a strong work ethic and leadership skills. The game has taught me to never give up and this quality was evident in game we won by one point, with me scoring the game winning three! We were down twelve points at half, and in foul trouble, and ultimately lead my team back to victory! I am the type of person who wants to succeed, whether in the classroom, or basketball court, I won't give in or give up! I know I can play at the next level and with hard work and dedication, I can play NCAA basketball,  Thanks!
