Demarius Cress '15 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to go to college and get a degree in the field of Science.  I have always been fascinated with nature so, during this school year I will narrow my choices down.  Additionally, my dream is to play College Basketball;  I have been playing since the 2nd grade and have not stop since. I was a starter as a freshman on my high school basketball team and have held that position since.   As the youngest of four boys, I have been around the sport of basketball as my brothers all played AAU basketball for several years.  I believe and was told I have a great basketball I.Q.   I have great visibility of the floor.  I get the ball to the scorers and have enough confidence to take the shot if it is open.  I have played in some of the most elite basketball tournaments since my freshman year.  I have played in Big Foot Classic  in Las Vegas for three years, Several Great American Shoot Out in various parts of Texas and the Mile High basketball tournament if Denver Co.   I have been ranked by the Texas Hoops organization in the state of Texas since the 8th grade.  My grades are excellent and have taken AP classes since the 7th grade.   In closing, I love basketball, however, getting a quality college education is my top priority as I come from a family of educators.
