Recruiting Report: Trevante Anderson (2018)
More than two years ago, Lincoln point guard Trevante Anderson received his first Division I offer from Montana University, and has been waiting for his second offer since.
Several schools though have been recruiting the 6-foot-2 senior-to-be of late, and with a summer on the Under Armour Circuit ahead of him, it seems just a matter of time before some additional offers come in.
“I still have an offer from Montana, and I’ve been talking a lot to Boise State, University of San Diego, Santa Barbara, Seattle U, Wazzu, that’s all the schools I’ve been talking to right now,” said Anderson.
Washington’s 8th-ranked 2018, Anderson says he still talks to Montana coaches on a weekly basis.
He’s unsure whether which school might be next to offer.
“You never really know when they’re going to throw that out there,” he said. “They all call and try and keep in touch with you, and try and get to know you.”
A pass-first point guard who identified court vision as a strength, Anderson defined his playing style to PHWA during a recent phone interview.
“I think some of my strengths are creating for myself and teammates, locking down the other team’s best player, and just competing,” he said.
This past winter with the Abes, Anderson and Co. lost in the state semifinals to the eventual champs. He says his role was to be the team’s leader.
“I was a leader on the team, I was the most experienced because I’ve been starting varsity since my freshman year. So I was the guy that everybody looked to for leadership,” said Anderson.
Now, he’s in the middle of his final offseason, and is playing with Washington Supreme on the Under Armour Circuit — his first season with the program.
“I think I played pretty inconsistent this spring; like I’d have a really good game, and then a game where I didn’t play so well. My role is to just to be a point guard, take my open shots as they come and just control the tempo of the game,” said Anderson.
“What I did really well this spring was lock up the other team’s point guard, some big-name guys, I stopped them to help us win games, even if my shots weren’t falling on offense.”
This summer, Anderson expects things to go a little more smooth.
“This is my first year playing with Washington Supreme, so this spring I was just getting used to the team, and what people like to do,” he said.
“I want to win as many games as possible this summer, of course, and just stay consistent; stay consistently confident, and play consistently tough.”
