Terrence Dill is hoping to join Sullivan Phillips (196-F-79, college: Columbia Union) and David Patrick (179-G-77, college: La-Lafayette) as the only Bermudians to play professional basketball. Terrence Dill has a tryout next week for the Buffalo Stampede of the Premier Basketball League. The PBL had nine teams in three countries this past season. The Stampede were at the bottom of the tables along with the Maryland Greenhawks. Some of the other clubs include the Puerto Rico Capitanes, Halifax Rainmen, the Quebec Kebs and league champs Lawton-Fort Sill Calvary. The league started play in 2008. Terrence Dill said his smile 'wrapped around his head' when he heard that he would be given the chance to go pro. The Devonshire Dragons player was having a shoot around at half time of the 2010 Sky Streetball Bermuda Gas All-star weekend when he heard the surprise announcement.
'I was speechless - speechless,' Terrence Dill said. 'I was shocked. I wasn't expecting to be selected.' He had talked with SKY Streetball organizer Lee Greene ahead of time, but Greene played it cool and let Terrence Dill believe someone else was getting the chance to go pro. He said prior to he had checked out the Stampede online. 'I could see they needed some help.' The Stampede could use some size as only 6 ft, 9 in centre Kevin Ross would be taller than Terrence Dill, if he makes the squad. The small forward/power forward said his strengths are 'My athletic ability and my size.' Terrence Dill, who went to Texas A & M University for two years, but didn't play for team after an injury sidelined him, said there's a bit of disagreement as to how tall he really is. 'In Texas I'm 6 ft 8 in, but here I'm 6 ft 6 in so I say I'm 6 ft 7 in.' Terrence Dill had taken a semester off of school to earn some money was adamant he's not finished with college. 'I want to finish my education.' He said he might have to go part-time to complete his degree in education, but he is going to do it.
He is a late bloomer to basketball. A former track and cross country star, he only took up the sport when he was 16. 'My best friend played basketball. I tried it and found I had natural athletic ability.' Terrence Dill then helped CedarBridge Academy go undefeated in the 2005 season.
