In addition to being our No. 9 ranked 2024 prospect in the state of Pennsylvania, Gilhool holds over a dozen DI offers. Just this week he picked up a “re-offer” from the new coaching staff at Penn State.
During his junior season at Westtown, this stretch-4 style forward averaged 10.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Across the final four contests of Westtown’s 2022-23 season Gilhool increased those averages to 14 points and 13 rebounds per game. Gilhool is an athletic and versatile lefty big man who this winter posted noteworthy games of 20 points vs. Bishop McNamara and 17 points against Abington Friends.
His late season surge has acted as a springboard for an outstanding start to the 2023 spring grassroots circuit. Gilhool has produced all-tournament level weekends at MADE Hoops East Warm Up, Gym Rats Live and UAA Session 1.
It should be noted that Gilhool is not the first high profile 2024 prospect to depart a southeastern Pennsylvania school to spend his senior year at an out-of-state school with a “national” basketball program. If you recall, last month Robert Wright III Robert Wright III 6'0" | PG Montverde Academy (FL) | 2024 State #35 Nation FL (No. 1 ranked 2024 prospect) announced that he will leave Neumann-Goretti and transfer to Montverde Academy (FL).
