Great Britain guard Cameron Hildreth has committed to Wake Forest from the 2021-2022 season, the player announced on Instagram.
“The main thing that stood out to me for Wake was the unbelievable staff members, from the education teachers to the team physio to the nutritionist and all the coaches,” Hildreth told ESPN’s Jonathan Givony on what attracted him to Wake Forest. “They all really appealed to me. Wake Forest has an amazing setup for the ‘professional athlete,’ which I really wanted to experience, that lifestyle of a pro basketball player.”
Hildreth became 18 years old on September 18. Last season he averaged 20.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists in NBL Division 1, Great Britain’s second-tier league, with the Worthing Thunder. He also participated in EuroLeague’s Adidas Next Generation Tournament in Lithuania, averaging 25.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 4.0 steals in 32.57 minutes over four games with Barking Abbey London.
In 2018 and 2019, Hildreth played for Great Britain’s U16 and U18 national teams.
