Highly touted Josh Hill signs with Arkansas State basketball
Top-100 forward Josh Hill signed a National Letter of Intent with the Arkansas State men’s basketball program, head coach Bryan Hodgson announced Wednesday.
“I’m really excited to add Josh Hill to our program here at Arkansas State,” Hodgson said. “Not only is Josh the highest-ranked recruit to ever join the Red Wolves, his upside and potential is through the roof. Josh was recruited at the highest level of college basketball – from the SEC, to the ACC, to the Big East and beyond – and he chose to come play here at Arkansas State, which is something we’re extremely excited about.”
The Marietta, Georgia, native is the highest-rated recruit in program history and is the first top-100 signee in school history.
Hill is a 3-Star prospect on Rivals.com, where he is ranked as the 16th best power forward in the country, in addition to being ranked the 133rd best prospect in the country in the Class of 2024.
At the AAU level, Hill was named by On3 as one of the standouts at the 2023 Adidas 3SSB Championships.
Hill is entering his senior season at Wheeler High School, winners of three of the past four Class 7A state titles, including last season. His lengthy offer sheet included nearly 20 schools, including several Power-5 programs.
“Josh fits the style of play that we want to incorporate here,” Hodgson added. “He’s a 6-11 forward who can step out and shoot the 3. He can take his matchup off the bounce and score it at all three levels. He’s a proven winner, winning a state championship in Georgia last year at Wheeler High School, and had a great summer on the Adidas circuit. We’re beyond thrilled to add Josh and his wonderful mother Tameka to the Red Wolves family.”
