According to Carcaterra, the reason you don't see many highlight videos of Hiltz is because the kid is incredible humble, and doesn't buy into self promotion. Doesn't mean he'll be a superstar because of this, but at the same time it is kind of refreshing. I feel like for a myriad of reasons, he's coming in kind of under the radar for a player ranked number 2 in his class (reasons being: 5th year seniors coming back, the general hype of Brennan O'Neil, him not coming in with #22, the lack of highlights, no showcase like UAA games). I think after the Jordan Evans experience, all this will be good for Hiltz.

After re-watching some highlights (though not the full game video Lexus posted yet), I have to say he does seem like a much more well rounded player and we are misguided if he's going to be Ethan Walker part deux.  Walker is a scorer first and foremost, whereas Hiltz looks more well rounded - in his last high school season he had more assists than goals, and some of the passes he makes are certainly next level.  He also might not break ankles like Mike Powell (not many do), but he can certainly dodge (I like the comparison to Garnsey, he certainly holds his stick in a very similar way, dangling it far away from his body while he leans into his defenseman - though unlike Garnsey, there is not a lot of wasted movement when he attacks the goal).

Lastly, it looks like Culver played some games in early 2020 and Hiltz did upload his Hudl profile with some highlights. Its not much, but something.
