Emerald Russell '18 Recruiting Profile

I have a balanced view of my goals for college. I want to play college sports as long as I am able to do what I want with my education while at the school in which I choose to play.  Furthermore, I would like to play for a program where I can significantly contribute to the success of the team and enjoy my experience.  

The qualities that make me a good choice for you team are a strong work-ethic, teachable and coachable, not given to stirring up problems among team members, but rather, I am completely into working problems out and getting to the business of winning games, and a great asset to a coach who needs a versatile player with speed, quickness, and intelligence.

If I were a coach, I would look for someone like me because I have always endeavored to hold to the character traits of honesty, hard work, integrity, and team-play.  Moreover, I'm not given to drink, do drugs, or other habits that may be damaging to athletic success.  My potential to be a good player is, to some degree, untapped, because my speed and quickness combined with time working on skills is guaranteed to produce a match-up problem at the point guard or two position.
