In this video, Lilly advises high school athletes who are being recruited for collegiate play to continue focusing on the things that have brought high school athletic success. Rather than worrying too much about the various schools that may or may not have recruited them, players should continue working hard in school, getting the right nutrition and rest and improving their overall games.
