Campbellsville, KY (Future150) -- Very few players start on their high school varsity team as an 8th grader.
Future150 Camp alum Quentin Goodin (Class of 2016, Taylor County High School/Hoop Dreams) from Campbellsville, Kentucky did just that last season.
Goodin had a solid season, averaging about 14 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds. He is a pass-first point guard or who can get to the basket when needed. He has a good mid-range game and is an excellent rebounder for a guard his size.
His recruitment has only recently begun, but a few colleges have already started to take notice.
Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, Purdue, UAB, and Dayton are some of the early suitors vying for this young point guard’s talent at this time.
Since Goodin is only going to be a freshman this upcoming season, his recruitment his far from over.
When asked who he would like to be recruited by and he answered with, “I would like to be recruited by Kentucky, UConn, and Kansas.”
He also added, “Kentucky is my dream school.”
Kentucky is a top choice for many obvious reasons, such as tradition, a recent National Championship, a premiere program, and even the location of UK is close to Goodin’s hometown.
Although these reasons stick out for most recruits, Goodin took a different approach when asked why it was his dream school.
“I like Coach Calipari. He stays hard on the players and pushes them through their weaknesses,” he said. “I also like how he has fun, encourages, and show his players love.”
Goodin has been working hard all summer and is planning to attend the Fab Frosh camp soon; he is also headed to the 2012 14U AAU Nationals Tournament later this summer.
Since Goodin is a Future150 Camp alum, we discussed how he was able to benefit from the practices and games that we have available.
“The Future150 Camp provided me with new drills that helped better my game, and it also gave me the chance to compete against some of the highly-ranked kids from all across the country.”
“Future150 gave me exposure that one else has,” he stated.
He hopes to use the rest of the summer and his first couple of years in high school to continue to improve upon his game.
