As elite high school basketball players it’s a safe bet that none of the top players in the next two classes will have a cliché New Year’s resolution like losing 20-plus pounds.

With that in mind we caught up with a handful of elite players and had them dish on their hoops resolutions for 2017.

Coby White, Greenfield School (Wilson, N.C.), PG, 2018

College: North Carolina

My New Year’s resolution for basketball is… “To start talking on the floor more and to become a better leader on and off the court. That’s the next step. I’m too quiet on the court and at the next level I have no choice but to talk or I’m not going to play. I want to make it a habit now.”

My New Year’s resolution for basketball is… “To win a second state championship in a row. Our season won’t be complete without it.”

My New Year’s resolution for basketball is… “To get better each and every day and become the best player I can be and become the best person I can be off the court as well.”

Immanuel Quickley wants to change his diet in the new year.

My New Year’s resolution for basketball is… “To change my eating habits. I’m a picky eater and hate most foods so a lot of the food I eat is not good for me, but I will change it in the coming year. I will have to change it in college anyway so I might as well start now.”

Vernon Carey Jr., University School (Davie, Fla.), F, 2019

My New Year’s resolution for basketball is… “To improve my ball handling skills. I just think that would open up my game so much more and I feel like that would help my team a lot more too.”
