VYPE Senior Spotlight: Basketball (Part 1)
VYPE reached out to the high school community a few weeks ago to have unsigned seniors send in their info.
It was an amazing response, which VYPE was overwhelmed by. To be clear, VYPE is not a recruiting service, we do not send this info to coaches or hold events. The VYPE editorial team just wanted to take this opportunity to use our platform to get the word out there on seniors that are still looking to play at the next level.
We have gathered a few of the Basketball submissions. Check out these senior spotlight selections.

— Cy Lakes Basketball (@CyLakeshoops) December 14, 2019
Paul is a 6-foot-3 senior guard, who can play both sides of the floor. He holds a 3.0 GPA at Cy Lakes High School. He was a part of the District Championship team this past year and made second-team, all-district.
Paul is looking to get into something in the technical engineering field.
"I'm really looking for a school that can challenge me on an educational level as well as basketball. My on court performance has been a little of getting up and down the court at a fast past, as I can score on a break almost with ease around the rim and over it being an athletic player when pushing the ball as well as shooting the ball at a high clip. My defense is what really sets me apart because I'm very vocal and active on that side of the floor and being aggressive."
