Ruben Garces '23 Recruiting Profile

My goals as a collegiate student-athlete is to be just that, a student-athlete. I aspire to excel in what I produce on the court as well as off the court just as I am doing now. 

I am a great two-way player that can get it done both on the offensive side and the defensive side. I always look to play a strong defensive game in order to fuel what I and my teammates do on offense. I look to take charges and I am always the first one diving on a loose ball. I run the floor wide and hard and always sprint back on defense. I am able to knock down the three, get in the paint and finish with a layup/floater, and knock down mid-range jumpers. I always pass to the open teammate and look to create opportunities for them off the ball by cutting, setting back screens, and constantly moving the ball. 

I am a very coachable player and am always listening and taking in the best advice that I can. I am extremely hard-working and never look to make excuses. The work I put on the court is met equally with work I put off of it. Constantly staying on top of my school-work and studying to be a better individual, I have become a very discipline student.
