Dominique Smith '24 Recruiting Profile

I have had a hard time finding my footing back into basketball after the COVID pandemic stopped me from participating in high school sports due to both of my parents compromised immune systems, forcing me to stay online and out of sports. My goal is the same as most student athletes and that's to be always the best on the court and to make it to the NBA. As for my academic goals I want to pursue a career in sports medicine to later become a sports medicine physician. In my last three years of high school, I've held a 4.0 GPA. I have a strong work ethic and I play a more team-oriented style of basketball. I am very good at seeing the floor in transition and getting the ball to open players. I am a good spot up shooter who can catch fire in a hurry. I think of myself as a on court leader I hold my teammates and especially myself responsible when I'm on the court and I'm very vocal and do whatever is needed to win. Due to COVID I was unable to pursue my basketball for 3 years but during those years I worked by myself and developed as a person and a player. I would describe myself as very coachable and I've never had a bad experience with a coach of any kind.
