Gill, a guard out of Masters Academy International in Massachusetts, finalized his plans for next year with a commitment to Miami University (OH). The 6’3″ guard is a pure scorer that does a nice job of creating space off the bounce and elevating into his jumper. He’s capable of making shots off the bounce, has some wiggle with the ball in his hands, and uses his athleticism to finish above the rim off drives. On the other end of the floor, he does a nice job of guarding in space and uses his length to his advantage to create deflections and steals off the ball. Gill gives Miami a dynamic addition to the back-court and has the potential to develop into an all-league performer in the Mid-American Conference.

Gill was one of the most impressive players in the gym last week. The 6-foot-3 guard was one of the better shooters and really impressed me with his ability to get his feet set and make shots from the perimeter no matter how tight the contest was. He also operated quite smoothly out of the pick and roll and made some really nice reads in terms of his passing vision—he also got all the way to the rim and finished acrobatically on a number of occasions. Gill is going to surprise a lot of people this season and should be one of MAI’s key guys.

National Ranking: 106

Gill is a prospect I’ve gotten to follow closely during his high school career as the Ohio lead scout and his offensive improvement has been impressive to watch. Gill was an efficient scorer on the 3SSB circuit for both Wildcat Select and Phenom United and is one of the youngest players in the class of 2027. Gill’s combination of production, a college ready frame, toughness and age makes him an easy bet to produce at the college level. With a transfer to a new powerhouse prep program, we’ll see if Gill makes other national rankings lists by the time his senior season wraps up.

A state champion with Cincinnati Princeton, Gill was the leading scorer in the conference he shares with a handful of nationally ranked prospects. Gill has also stood out on the 3SSB circuit with Wildcat Select this summer. One of the youngest players in the 2027 class nationally, you wouldn’t be able to tell based on how mature Gill’s game and frame is. Gill is being pursued by basically every MAC program in Ohio, becoming a priority recruit across the midwest and beyond. Look for Gill to continue to elevate his stock with Princeton in June during KABC and Midwest Live in front of Division I coaches.

Maybe the biggest stock riser of the state tournament, Gill was dominant for a Princeton squad that steamrolled through the Division I bracket. For his performance on Sunday, Gill won the Morgan & Morgan MVP award for the Division I championship game. Gill went 10/12 from the field and connected on all three of his 3-point attempts, finishing off a dominant state tournament where Princeton won every game by 15+ points and Gill scored in double-figures each contest. Princeton also ran excellent sets to get Gill the basketball, with their famous entry to the elbow setting up a backdoor cut connecting for a monster slam dunk by Gill. Expect to see Gill’s stock rise over the grassroots season, he just recently cracked the national 2027 rankings at Prep Hoops, the first national rankings list to include Gill.

Princeton played maybe their best defensive game of the year and rolled past conference rival Oak Hills, who knocked them off in the regular season. Gill used his length defensively for blocks and jumping passing lanes. To end the third quarter, Gill had a lefty layup just before the buzzer that was in the middle of Princeton’s big run to win the game. Impressive resiliency by Princeton to defeat multiple conference rivals who either beat or took them to the final buzzer in the regular season and have no trouble in March.

The Vikings were pushed by a team who gave them all they could handle in the regular season, but to win in March your stars need to shine brightest and the Vikings stars were exceptional on Saturday night at Cintas Center. Gill made shots off the catch, a tough thing to do inside a college arena. Princeton also played patient in the half court and found Gill on multiple cuts where he had some and-1 finishes at the rim. One of the more consistent players in the state, Gill seems to impact the game at a high level on a nightly basis.

A grown man performance by Gill under the bright lights, I liked the fact that he didn’t seem to force anything in the half-court. Gill hit a baseline jumper and a wing 3-pointer and then started getting closer to the rim as the game wore on. You could tell the physicality and aggressiveness that Princeton played with was affecting a shorthanded Lakota West squad that had players out due to injury, flu, foul trouble and cramping in the second half. That allowed Gill to post up some smaller defenders forced into the game and finish layups at the rim. Impressive performance by Gill to help his team try and climb out of a massive early deficit but just couldn’t finish it at the end.

Princeton was locked in once again and got a comfortable victory against a McNicholas squad that should win a lot of games this winter. That type of performance is why I’m so high on Princeton this season because of their ability to turn teams over and quickly score in transition. Gill was often at the finishing end of these buckets with a couple of strong lefty finishes at the rim. Princeton also executed sets and BLOB plays to get easy looks for Gill and his teammates, the sign of a well coached team with great chemistry. Expect to hear a lot about Princeton this winter.

Cincinnati Princeton was ranked 4th in our Division I preseason rankings and Gill is the lone Division I prospect on that team. After a strong summer with Wildcat Select, Gill has improved his perimeter shooting and has always been a talented athlete and defender. Princeton play a fun style of basketball and while they might spread the ball around too much for any individual accolades like Mr Basketball, that recipe should lead to a lot of wins this winter.
