Elijah Davidson '20 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6’3" point guard from Bosque School, NM.  I will be a sophomore next season.  I have been the starting point guard on Bosque School’s Varsity team since the eighth grade. I earned an All-District team award as an eighth grader and once again as a ninth grader.  I play basketball for my club team, D1 Nation NM, and we play in the Adidas Gauntlet.  I broke my hand this year and watching from the sidelines gave me a new perspective on how the basketball game works and helped me understand what my coaches are looking for when I’m on the court.  Sitting on the bench helped me see the open spots on the court and gave me a better understanding of the game.

As a young player more exposure to higher level basketball skills camps and showcases will improve my basketball skills, both mentally and physically, as well as help accomplish my goal of making it to the highest level of play I can.  I love to be the first person in the gym and the last one out, often staying to help the younger players on my team improve their game and learn the work ethic required to achieve their goals individually and our goals as a team.

I am looking for an academically strong school that will allow for a balance between class and court.  I would like to attend a college with strong Language and Marine Biology programs.   Sacrificing things for basketball is important but it is also important to me to balance basketball and my education.  I’ve missed many family, schools, and personal events because of my dedication to basketball which has helped me get where I am now.  I want to get better and continue growing athletically.

As a point guard who is also capable of playing multiple positions on the court, I believe I have the potential to go far and make a strong impact on any team I have the opportunity to play for.  I am always ready to learn and am determined to get to the next level.
