T.J. Rushing
<span style="font-weight: 400;">One of Ohio's most promising young point guards, Cleveland Heights' <strong>Yahel Hill</strong> has already started to reel in some Division I offers, and could receive several more over the next 12 months. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The 6-foot junior picked up four offers during his 16U campaign with King James; Toledo, Stony Brook, Kent State and Akron. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Kent State offered first, and then Toledo was the most recent,” said Hill, who mentioned Ohio, Wright State and Xavier as teams that may be next to offer.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Hill has visited Akron, Toledo and Kent State, and says he will be visiting Ohio. He mentioned what his goals were with his recruiting process.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“With my recruitment I'd like to get some high-major D1 offers,” he said. “And I just know I need to keep my grades up.” </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A true point guard, who is able to score and set teammates up, Hill defined his playing style to </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">PHOH. </span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I describe my strengths as getting my teammates involved, and shooting the ball well,” said Hill. “And I've been trying to improve on my strength and conditioning, and my playmaking ability.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As he heads into his third season as the starting point guard with Cleveland Heights, Hill says leadership will become a priority for him. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“This year I'm looked at more as a leader, and I'll have to lead by example. And I really can't take any plays off because my younger teammates are looking up to me,” he said. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I just want to be better than I was last year.” </span>
