Ricky Ortiz

My name is Ricardo Ortiz, and I am from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. Last year, I played my freshman season at Point University. I graduated high school in 2023 from DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Florida. Currently, I have a 3.8 GPA and a total of 41 credits. I am majoring in Business (finance) with a minor in marketing. I’m a true point guard who will play physically on both sides of the court and like to use my body when attacking. I can shoot and score from all three levels and get my teammates involved at the same time.   Something that makes me special is that I’m willing to learn and I’m coachable at all times. I’ll always take what is best for the team over what is best for myself. I’m ready to give it my all every time I suit up and put my body on the line. I work out around 3 times a day in the offseason.   During the season I make sure to get my shots up and get weights in, as well as get some skill work with the assistant coaches 3-4 times a week. Each workout is at least 1 hour, and I make sure to give it my all during each. I also take care of my body with the appropriate rest and eat well. I will be the hardest worker you have been around, and I pride myself in the work I put in. I have recently gained 7 pounds since the season ended and am now at 180. I plan to get to 190 with more muscle by the end of summer.   Academically, I have been on top of my studies for the past 2 years and made sure to get as many classes as I could, passing all with As – except for one B – in my second semester. I am also an Eagle Scout, which taught me how to be a leader and has translated directly to the court. I appreciate you for taking your time to view my profile!
