Colin Hackbarth '22 Recruiting Profile

Basketball has always been a passion for me. I've been playing on basketball teams since 3rd grade, but working on skills since 1st grade.  It’s always been a part of my life since my dad played in high school and three years in college. What I love about basketball is that I am constantly learning.  There is always a part of my game that I can work on and a skill that I can improve.  I also love that it is competitive.  It’s not only about winning against another team, but about succeeding at the goals I have set for myself. 

In regards to my own basketball experience, I have some personal goals for myself. One of these is to reach 1,000 points by the end of my high school career.  It is also important to me to be recognized for my hard work on the defensive end. But a large goal for me, and one I have spent over 7 years working towards, is to experience playing basketball at the college level. Watching different levels of college play, I am looking for an opportunity to compete at that pace and skill level. 

As I continue to work on my game in high school, I am open to discussing all opportunities of playing at the college level, being involved with the game, and pursuing higher levels of competition. 

Although basketball is my primary focus, I do also enjoy running cross country, playing football, spending time with family, swimming, and being outdoors.
