"I'm satisfied and proud that I reached the professional level, and I feel ready to take on different challenges," Hill said. "I knew I wasn't going to be a professional basketball player all my life, so I figured I'd start my 'real life' sooner than later."

Hill's real life currently finds him trading stocks for Goldman Sachs in New York. He attributes much of what he learned on the court in helping him in his new business endeavors.

"Basketball was great preparation for becoming a trader," Hill said. "A trader needs to exhibit a similar set of skills to that of a point guard. Both need to be aggressive, competitive, team-oriented, and quick-thinking."

Now that Hill is back in the States, he will be able to keep a sharper eye on the team he helped mold during his four years with the Crimson.

"I'm excited to be back this year," Hill says. "I can catch my first Harvard hoops game as a graduate."

It is possible that Hill's return to Harvard as spectator will have a positive effect on this year's team. Whatever his impact, Hill is optimistic about the Crimson's chances.

"Coach Sullivan always does a good job of getting players ready for the year," Hill says. "With the veterans all healthy and many of the young guys with one year under their belt, it should be a season full of wins."

"I'm looking forward to watching," Hill admits. "Even if [sophomore point guard] Elliott [Prasse-Freeman] is running around with my number on."
