Jaxon Pillich '20 Recruiting Profile

I recently moved to Kansas in February from Texas. The midwest has been great and I look forward to growing in the game. I was just selected to the top 20 in the NEP KC Fall Ball Elite Camp. Prior to leaving Texas, I was listed in the top 50 in my class (Texas Top 100). During the summer (17), I played with MoKan Elite - we qualified for NIKE Peach Jam and I had several games with 15+ points; the highest scoring game was 24 points. Prior to coming to Kansas, I played with THP-Elite (Texas Hardwood Prospects). I averaged 26ppg; highest scoring game was 48 points. I currently play varsity basketball for Wichita Heights High School (Wichita, KS) and we are a 5A school.  I also participate in track and field this year. My favorite track events are: 200m dash, 4x200m relay and 4x100m relay. I'm a sprinter on the court; most of my points come from transition baskets and offensive rebounds. 

Away from basketball, I enjoy running and strength training. I also like to watch documentaries about criminal justice and juvenile delinquents which are faced with years in the system. When I finish playing basketball, I hope to work with kids who are dealing with mental health issues and mentoring kids in the foster care system.
