Lucaas Gonzalez-Ortega '21 Recruiting Profile

I became interested in basketball first in 4th grade when my friends asked me to play; I was by far the tallest player on our team by far. I continued to play through 5th, 6th and 7th grade as well, however I did come down with mononucleosis in 6th grade. In 8th grade I completely tore my meniscus rendering my useless for the season.

I didn't become very serious about basketball until the summer of 2017 at a Gonzaga basketball camp. My academic goal for high school is to graduate with a 3.5 to a 4.0 and a scholarship whether academic or for basketball. I would like to get a degree in either medicine or sports management. I will always try my best to impress my coaches on and off the court. I will do my best to help the team that I play for become the best we can be.
