Jordan Hall '16 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Jordan Hall.  I am 17 years old and I play High School Basketball at Saraland High School in Mobile, Alabama.  Saraland Schools are 5 years old and we are a 6A classification.  I have played basketball for 7 years.  I started as a sophomore as the Point Guard for the Lady Spartans.  I averaged 12 Points a game last year as well distributed the ball around to my teammates with 7 assists a game.  I also got all tournament honors last year.  I am on track for the same stats this year but have had some higher performing games this year.  I have a very competitive spirit.  I compete hard at everything I do, whether on the court, in the classroom, or playing board games,  I want to win. I also very badly want to play college basketball.  It is a long time dream of mine and I am willing to work as hard as I can to achieve this.
   Along with my competitive nature I have a very strong work ethic.  I am the first in the gym and usually the last one to leave.  I will run extra after practice.  I want to master my drills and be the best at my craft.  I believe that games are won when there are no one in the bleachers.  With my hard work, I have gained a lot of strength.  I bench press 165 Lbs and Squat 255 Lbs.  We work out daily at school and my strength coach would vouch for how hard and how serious I take my training.  In fact, I have won the weight lifting award at school. My strength and competitive attitude make me a very physical player.  I do not mind making contact and being aggressive on the court.  If there is a bigger, stronger post player that our team needs to stop, my coach will put me on that opponent.  I do not hesitate to block out, bar cutters, or mix it up with others to gain an advantage.  I believe I am pretty fundamentally sound.  That comes from living with a coach of 26 years.  We have worked hard and discussed many situations over the years.  We even study film and work on mental toughness.  I have a high basketball IQ.  In my ability, I can shoot anywhere on the court.  I am a very good 3 point shooter.  I have made up to 6 in a game and can change a game with my accuracy.
   Last, my achievements and talents as a student are exceptional.  I have a 4.5 GPA and take all AP Classes.  I have made one B in my lifetime and that was a 89.6 in AP Biology.  I was devastated.  I am also ranked 5th in my class and would be ranked higher had I been at Saraland as a middle schooler.  The same pride and drive that I view in athletics is the same in the classroom.  I made a 28 on my ACT but my goal is a 30.  I will achieve this.  I want to be the best at everything I do.  I also throw the shot and javelin.  I placed in the top 5 in all of my meets.  This was my second year ever to compete in track.  I attribute this to my strength and work ethic.  I love basketball and everything about the game.  One of my favorite things is having the friendship and relationships with my teammates.  There is nothing like the power and idea of a team.  This compels me even more to play college ball.
