Ryan Daugherty '14 Recruiting Profile

I am a pure shooter who can consistently hit off the dribble or the pass.  I shot 44% (81 of 184) from 3 point range for my AAU team this season but I am not just a shooter; I excel at all of the other facets of the game as well.  I led my high school team in rebounding at 5.1 per game, was 2nd in assists (1.9 APG), 2nd in steals (2.2 SPG) and had the best assist to turnover ratio (1.3).

Many tell me I am an unselfish player and I guess I would agree with that.  I could take more shots but I feel it is important to do what's best for the team.  I have been taught to always make the right pass or the right play and make decisions based on what is best for the team to help us win.

I am a young Senior who actually should be starting my Junior season (I won't turn 18 until September 24, 2014).  I made the cut off date while in Tennessee so I started school when I was 4.  I have always been competing against older players so I have had to work harder and put out more effort if I wanted to excel.  I have overcome this adversity and made it a strength for me; this is proof of my work ethic and desire to compete at the highest level possible.

Because I am a young senior, my physical attributes are not where I want them to be.  I am working hard in the weight room but I need to continue to work on getting stronger, faster and bigger.  I have overcome many obstacles in my life and I will overcome this as well given time and the right college who can help me with strength and conditioning.

My best years are ahead of me and the coach gives me the opportunity to be part of their program will get a steal.  You won't be disappointed, I promise!
