Alana Powell '23 Recruiting Profile

I'm looking to play women's basketball at the next level because I'm a lover of the sport of basketball.   I’m looking to develop not only as a player but a graduate of a 4 year institution to prepare me for life after basketball as well.  I believe what makes me a very strong candidate for a college team is that I'm will to put the work in to excel and I'm very coachable.  Since I've was playing in middle school, I wake up early in the morning to get shots up and work on my ball handling, so that I could accomplish my goal of winning.  In my 4 years of high school basketball, I have developed a very high basketball IQ, great court vision, I’ve become an extension of my coach on the court.  I believe in making the game easier for my team by seeing the next play necessary to win, especially by over communicating to them on both ends of the court.  I have very solid ball handling skills that a scoring point guards need to score at all 3 levels or assist teammate to get easy baskets.  I've been told that I often make my teams 'go' and have the ability to make whatever difference is needed for my teams to win.  I've done this either by scoring or being a tenacious on-ball defensive player, who know how to defend man to man without fouling.  I want to display my skills at the highest level possible at the collegiate level.
