Jacob Morales '20 Recruiting Profile

It has always been a goal of mine to be able to play college basketball, does not matter what level I just want to be able to compete and play the sport that I worked so hard to be better at.  What makes me a good fit for someone's team is that I am %100 a team player first I will always look for my teammates before I look to score. I can handle pressure and make the right pass or call a smart set to run to get a score and I can take care of the ball when it is a close game and not turn it over. I also enjoy playing  defense and considered myself the best defender on my team. I always guarded the best player on the other team. I can pressure guys up close and not get blown by, I can stay in front and keep on the pressure. Even off ball I can pick off passes and get steals. Unfortunately I tore my ACL at the end  my junior year in track so I had to get surgery on June 11, 2019. I started rehab right after my surgery. I rehabbed six months and worked harder and pushed myself harder then I ever had before. I was able to start playing in the end of December. What makes me different from other recruits is I don't care if I score tons of points I'll do anything to help the team win and be more successful.  Academics wise I want to major in business and get my degree then go to trade school start a career and then hopefully own a business. My freshman year our team won the 3A state title, my sophomore year we placed 2nd, my junior we had placed 3rd, my senior we had placed 7th. My team made it to the state tournament all four years of high school.
