Jalaya Dowell '18 Recruiting Profile

**  BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY  **   Louisville, KY    ^^  COMMIT. ^^ 

I have been working hard to be the best post player I can be, the best shooter I can be, the best dribbler I can be, the best teammate I can be. Castle High Basketball in the winter, AAU in spring and summer, and working on my overall game in between. I have been working at the gym, running 4-5 days a week, playing in summer tournaments, and working on the mentality the game of basketball requires.

I work hard inside and am a scoring threat, able to put up points under the basket and sink a jump shot.  I am strong defensively, being described as the best rebounder in the IBCA/IHSAA  Girls Top 100 Underclassmen Showcase 2017 in Indianapolis and can easily alter and block the shots of my opponents. My perimeter game is developing and I can help move the ball up the court. I am coachable and immediately make the adjustments necessary to improve the team play on the court.

I hope basketball will help propel me into a college where I can study Exercise Science, but I also work hard in my academics, currently holding a 3.1 GPA.   

I love fishing, hanging with my friends and family, road trips, and shopping.
