Lillian DaSilveira '26 Recruiting Profile

Basketball is a team sport that I feel takes a lot of dedication, strength, focus, and confidence. I have been playing basketball since the 4th grade. However, my passion for the sport began to intensify in the 6th grade. That is when I started playing AAU for Dawan Robison and his organization Life of Hoops. During this time I learned that hard work and dedication gets you to be successful. I have always been a hard working both in school and on the court and I contribute that to the great work ethic I have. I play ball year round but I have set a goal for myself that I get my hands on a ball each day. This may be a practice, a group training session, 1:1 lesson or just me in my yard shooting. My goal for college is to play at the D1,D2, or D3 level but I would love to get to the D1 level. I know I have it in me to play in college. I am a very coachable player who has a good attitude on and off the court and is a great teammate. But like all people I have things that I work on daily to improve. I feel comfortable playing any postion on the court. I tend to play as a small forward on my AAU team and at times all five postions on my High School team. AAU season is most important to me that’s where I get to see the best talent in the country. I always try to do my best on the court the one thing I need to work on is my attitude which is soemthing really hard for players to work on. Basketball is something that i would like to carry on in my life I would like to succeed in it even ifs it playing at a D2 or D3 college or even coaching when I get older.
