Introduction: Week 1 Blog 1

For my senior project I hope to explore the process of recruiting college basketball players. Basketball has been a big part of my life since a young age whether it be playing or watching. I have discovered that I want to become a sports broadcaster and ideally focus on basketball at the college or professional level. I think this project could be very beneficial to me because it would give me an understanding of what the recruiting process is like and I would enjoy my time doing it. This is an area of college basketball that I am not very familiar with so this project will be a great learning experience. To achieve my goal of being a sports broadcaster I have to be an expert on basketball and pretty much know every little thing. I hope to partner up with my friend Ben Gainsboro who is an even more passionate fan of the sport than me. Ben aspires to become a sports journalist focusing on basketball so this project could be very useful for him as well. I know that we will work well together because we are good friends and we actually wrote together for a blog in the past. I hope that this project will be approved because I am really looking forward to diving into this project and making the most out of this term.
