A few minutes with 2024 Forward Matt Gilhool
'24 Matt Gilhool - Philly Pride Media Day
Kevin Daniels Scouting, Amature and Pro Scout
Matt was the most impressive prospect at the Philly Pride Media Day. The 6'10" rangy forward displayed his versatility on the offensive end and controlled the paint defensively. Offensively, his soft touch around the paint and ability to stretch the floor to the perimeter were eye catching. Defensively, he used his length to change and block shots with either hands. The southpaw has the athletic pedigree to continue to grow. His dad played high school football and his mother was a D1 basketball player at American University in Washington D.C.. Schools are starting to contact Matt more consistently, but he is still searching to secure the elusive Division 1 offer. He's transferring to Westtown School (PA), which will create more exposure and preparation for the next level. In the meantime, coches can watch him with Philly Pride this summer on the UAA circuit.
Why should coaches consider you?
"I’ll say they consider me as a hard worker and a hustler."
Matt displayed both at the Philly Pride Media Day, something intriguing to coaches at any level.
What keeps you motivated?
"Something that keeps me motivated is my love and passion for the game."
I recently spoke to a coach about Matt and he said "you can sense his passion for the game."
