Accompanying one of several courts the PSA Cardinals played on during Peach Jam at the sprawling Park Activities Center in North Augusta, SC was a sign with “30 Years At The Top” emblazoned on it in bright lettering.
While PSA’s highly coveted Class of 2028 forward Colton Hiller has been alive for a little over half those 30 years, he’s playing with the multitalented approach and seasoned grit of a blossoming young recruit at the top of his class.
The No.2 nationally ranked Hiller picked up an offer from Kentucky this week, following a convincing showing at Peach Jam.
“He just got an offer from Kentucky, everyone is really reaching out to him now,” said PSA Cardinals 17U coach Donovan Williams.
“Colton is still having fun with the game and working on his craft and getting better. The greatest aspect of it all is he’s really having fun with the process of getting better. He has a natural talent.”
Hiller holds offers from the likes of Duke, Alabama, Florida State, BYU, North Carolina, Kansas, UCONN, Louisville, Oregon, Maryland and others.
One year after entering Peach Jam as a callow, lesser-heralded freshman who wound up showing flashes, the multitalented Hiller has polished up a wide-ranging offensive arsenal.

He elicited fits for defenders with his knack for finishing hard, both through contact on the move.
At 6-foot-6, 215 pounds, Hiller has averaged 17.6 points throughout the EYBL season.
Kentucky has been in multiple times to see Hiller, who plays at Coatesville (Pa.) HS this AAU season, as Mark Pope and staff watched him during EYBL Session I.
