Each and every time Phenom Hoops gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Lili Booker
Class: 2024
Committed to: Longwood
What She Said:
Lady Phenom: What made Longwood the place for you in the end'
Booker: Longwood is a special place that I fell in love with at first sight. It is also in Virginia where I spent a lot of time with family over the years. My grandfather played hoops at VCU, my dad played football at William & Mary, so to be a third-generation D1 athlete playing and getting my education in Virginia is special.
Lady Phenom: What kind of relationship were you able to build with the staff there'
Booker: From the very first phone call with Coach E, I felt a good vibe. The whole staff is very family-oriented, which is something that is huge to me. Everyone on staff seemed to genuinely care about me, not just as a basketball player but as a human being.
Lady Phenom: What do they hope you can bring to the program' And what are you hoping to bring to the team early on'
Booker: I think they view me as a complete basketball player who can provide many things. If I need to come in and lock down a hot scorer or provide disruptive ball pressure, I can do that. If I need to get buckets or facilitate for my teammates, I can do that as well.
