Amber Furtado '25 Recruiting Profile

I am a high academic athlete.  My GPA is 3.74 with honor classes.  My college goals are to find the right academic fit and be an active member on campus and I aspire to play college basketball. I am a coachable player and I take the initiative outside of practice to work on my game, for example I workout mornings before school starts as well as after school and on the weekends.

On the court I am a great communicator on both ends of the court.  I protect the rim, rebound, and set a highly effective screen which helps open up my teammates to score or I pick and roll to the hoop. I love defense. I dive for loose balls and I am working on becoming a multi positional defender. I have high basketball IQ and look to make the right play for the team. 

I played varsity basketball as an 8th grader on my school team. I also played in the Adidas Gauntlet 16U tournaments during the summer’s of 2021 and 2022 as a starter for Team Saints. I play on both the 16U and 17U teams.  I changed AAU programs in 2023 and now play for the Bay State Jaguars on their National team. I am Captain of my school team at Ethel Walker.

I serve on the Honor Board at The Ethel Walker School. This 2023 school year I will be a Cicerone giving prospective students and their families tours and information about Ethel Walker. I am also a proctor in the dorm. 

I am looking to attend a university or college that will be a great fit academically and has a great campus culture. I am looking for a coach and team that will utilize my skills and that would be great fit and has a great team culture.  I will work hard on and off the court. My teammates and coaches would tell you I love a positive team culture.   I would love the opportunity to play at the next level in college.
