Nicholas Hilenski '22 Recruiting Profile

Throughout high school and into college I aspire to become an overall better basketball player and more importantly become a better man. I hope to better myself and the others around me as much as I can, always playing hard and pushing my teammates whether it‘s in practice or a game. I feel what makes me different then other recruits is my willingness to grow on and off the court. I'm always compelled to learn and try new things if it means a better result in the long run. On the basketball court, I think my basketbal "iq" and overall feel for the game on the court is what really sets me apart. Growing up I went from playing point guard when I had to play up an age level then back to power forward/center when I played my age. I've played all postions one time or another and that is why I feel my iq is so high. Lastly and most importantly, I think my focus and effort into my schooling really sets me apart. My parents preach good grades in my household and even if sometimes school can be boring, I push myself to get good grades because it will ultimately help me play basketball at the next level.
