Makeeya White '15 Recruiting Profile

I believe I would be a good recruit for any team because I am an all around team player. Often times players either want to come in being the star or they are completely the opposite. I am the type of player that works hard to get where I want to go. I had to work my way up to a starting position on my own high school team, so I am not one afraid to start from the bottom and work my way up. I am also a good listener and a good leader. Often times people tend to make the mistake of thinking that the leader is the one scoring all of the points, when in most cases that is not true. A leader is someone who pushes their team and most of the time that "pushing" factor comes in during practice when no one else is around. I may not be the top scorer each game and that does not bother me because at the end of the game I usually end up with the most assists. I am mainly known for my good defense; that is what I pride myself on. Because I have good defense and my teammates know that, when I steal the ball all I have to do is look up and find an outlet because my teammates are already running. I like passing the ball, I like playing to my teammates strengths and they play to mine. I think that knowing your teammates and their strengths is one of the most important things to do in basketball. I believe my leadership, good attitude, my skills, and my easy ability to be taught would be a benefit to any team. :)
