Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Thomas Dean and I have incredible talent. I WILL be playing college basketball within the next two years. I know where my talent comes from and know I will only continue to grow in skills and knowledge. I have a phenomenal basketball IQ. I have just completed my sophomore year in High School with myriad awards from the basketball season. I came to the team through intense recruiting efforts from the coach and lead the team to the state final games. As a sophomore, I was elected one of the captains of the team and was awarded leader of the team. I was also given awards from the VACA , which are chosen from every player in the state of Virginia in the VACA. I was chosen to be on the all state regions team, state tournament team and the all state team. I am currently playing on a VA AAU team with Juniors and Seniors, without being required to try out for the team. I am clearly driven and will continue to be while advancing my skills and knowledge. Academics are on the same priority level as well. My character is adaptable, ambitious and above reproach. Watch me as I soar in the next two years.
