Elizabeth Trentham '15 Recruiting Profile

It's hard for me to remember when I didn't love basketball.  It was made easier growing up in East Tennessee in the shadow of Pat Summitt and the Lady Vols.  When I was younger and someone would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would tell them I wanted to either play in the WNBA or be a hairdresser.  Although my long term goals have changed, basketball is still a big part of them.  There is nothing I would love more than to play basketball in college.  I have spent most of my time playing in the 4 and 5 positions.  This has enabled me to develop an offensive attack with my back to the goal or outside facing the rim.  I love rebounding and I absolutely love playing hard defense.  I have almost always been assigned to stop the other team's best inside player and have a lot of success in doing it.  But I think there are three big things that together make me stand out from all the other talented girls:  on-court intelligence, leadership with character and hard work.  I believe these characteristics will help make me successful in any program.
