Carly Tarnowski '18 Recruiting Profile

Starting from the young age of four, it has been hard to find me without a basketball in my hand.  I have lived and breathed the game all of my life.  The idea of my passion coming to an end is too hard to swallow so the decision of me playing at the collegiate level was not a difficult choice to make.  

I am an athlete with natural athleticism and affinity to the game. Whether it is running sprints or dribbling in my garage, I make it a point throughout the season and in the off season to push myself to better my game.  I play on an AAU team, the New Jersey Crusaders out of Maplewood, NJ on the 17u level.  I also play for Lenape Valley Regional High School in Stanhope, NJ and I have earned a starting varsity position since freshman year.  I play with strong physical defense and a high basketball IQ.  I play with one thing in mind; to win. I am a team player, leading my high school team in assists as a forward.  All of my coaches have told me that I am very coachable and that I have tremendous potential.  I am one of the most hard working recruits you will find. 

My hard work and dedication does not stop on the court.  I take great pride in my efforts in the classroom as well.  I currently have a 4.0 GPA and I partake in multiple advanced proficient and honors classes.  Aside from being on the court and in the classroom, I participate in soccer at the varsity level, counsel athletic camps, and girl scouts working on my gold award.

I want to play collegiate basketball to push myself in all avenues of life, to be the best I can be.  I am searching for the perfect fit for me both academically and athletically.
