James Tarleton '11 Recruiting Profile

I have become a role model citizen in my community, learning academic excellence in high school and work ethic in my favorite sport of Basketball. Basketball has been a huge part of my life. It is what I eat, drink and sleep. I am always the first one to get to court and the last one to leave. It is my dream to play basketball in college. There is nothing that makes me happier then when I'm competing on the court. My 6ft 4in, 205 pounds frame at age 17 is an asset to any team, now and in the future. One University I am interested in, is the University of Montana. I like the campus, the size, the city of Missoula, the coach, and I feel I would get a good education there. One of my educational goals is to graduate with an engineering degree. I want to be a crane operator and have the education to go into management as my career progresses. My short term goals are to study up for the SAT test this fall and to improve my test scores, and my second goal is to dominate in basketball my senior year on the Varsity basketball team dominating the Narrows League. I know how important both the education and the basketball go hand in hand to equal "My Success". I look forward to my future and I will embrace the challenges.
