Personal Statement

My name is Caleb Cronn, and I am an American citizen who went to HS in Australia and now play for the Link Academy National Team in Branson, Missouri.   I moved to Australia my Freshman year of high school after my mom accepted a new job there.  I was immediately recruited and received a scholarship to play basketball by the former head-coach of the Adelaide 36rs NBL team and Australian men’s basketball Olympic team coach, CJ Bruton, to a sports focused boarding school in Brisbane, where he used to coach.  I was the starting point guard for the First V (Varsity) GPS (Div 1) team.  I was voted top guard in this league, which is the most competitive HS league in Australia, team Captain, MVP, Basketballer of the Year, Elite Shooter and Coach's award for leadership and ethics.  I currently train and play with NBL and NBL 1 players and made the Division 1 men's team for under 21, where I started and was the youngest person on the team by 3 years.  While my goal is to play professional basketball after college, I also hope to one day be an Astrophysicist.  I currently participate in the talented and gifted program at my school (and have participated in TAG academic programs my entire academic career), maintaining over a 4.0 GPA.

Before moving to Australia, I played AAU basketball since the age of 10 for the top teams in Oregon for my age group, including FAST (now Rose City Rebels - Nike EYBL - Payton Pritchard's club), Hoops Elite and Deny.  

Thank you for reading through my profile.  I look forward to building a relationship with you and your coaching staff over the coming year!

Kind regards,

Caleb
