PG Alterique Gilbert (McDonald's All-American)

replying to RipCity's question.

Thanks, so piggybacking the theme of rips question let me ask you this - are you hearing UConn associated with Gibbs if he does indeed transfer?

Gilbert reminds me of Boat. Not sure if he has the type of athleticism Boat has b/c i don't think ive seen any dunks, but he looks crazy quick with great ballhandling, and impressive defense from some steals in the vid.

Wasn't there a rumor of Sterling Gibbs being on campus last month with Temple Gibbs visiting? I know Sterling said he was returning to Seton Hall, but Zion's comments adds interest. There was definite infighting at Seton Hall this past season between upper classmen & under classmen.... Then the wheels feel off. All speculation, but if Sterling was interested...

This is what happens when @aceboon compares Gilbert to Jonny Flynn.

Don't know if he can get up as high as Boat but he definitely has no problem dunking.

this is not science and things change, but there is talk of uconn and both gibb brothers

Damn, that's an impressive video. KO lock him up (if we haven't already)

Is Sterling Gibbs related to Temple Gibbs?

Brothers.

I've been hearing Gibbs-to-UConn rumors for a little while, but they're everywhere now.

 

[superjohn]

I remember reading a while ago Gibbs was staying at Seton Hall but with all of the problems with that program it makes sense he would look elsewhere. Hope these Gibbs to UConn rumors have legs, he would be a perfect fit for us. He would cover any shooting and ballhandling problems we have, would also help Jalen out a ton.

 

[RipCity]

They're all just CGs who are filthy shooters and none of them leave early for the draft. It would be awesome to be the new home for their fam.

If either Gibbs or Gilbert committed, would that hinder our chance with the other?

No. Gibbs will be a senior and will only be here for the 15-16 season and Gilbert wont be a freshman until fall of 2016 so they would not even play together.

Yeah that's not what he asked at all.

I think Temple Gibbs could play both guard spots. He's 6'2 with a 6'8 wingspan, and is a good slasher and shooter. So there'd be plenty of burn available for both without question. Worked well when we had two point guards playing major minutes in 2013-2014.

Adams?

 

[RipCity]

I also could see how someone could speculate that perhaps there hasn't been an announcement of a Gilbert commitment because they're waiting to see how the Sterling/Temple Gibbs situation unfolds before anything becomes official. I think that's a bit far fetched/optimistic but who knows.

I feel like we're in bizarro world. It's been month after month of nothing but lousy recruiting news - real and rumored. And now there are good vibes all over the place.

 

[CallMeBruce]

We'll have plenty of room for Gibbs and Gilbert, should that situation arise.

 

[RipCity]

Adams?

Agreed with Bruce. And neither Temple Gibbs or Alterique Gilbert are going to be afraid of TSam or SC taking their minutes. Plenty of playing time for the hypothetical 4 top guards (Senior Purvis, Soph Adams, Freshman Gilbert & Gibbs), especially if we have a freshman SF like Kegler with no true 3 behind him. Getting way ahead of myself here obviously, but there's room for both without a doubt.

 

[HuskyBballFan]

waiting on the latest from Gilbert has me anxious, the guy who posted the stuff about Gilbert being a done deal on the Rivals board has shown himself to be very reliable with his info.

That guy is a little rough around the edges, but he seems to have a direct line with certain members of the staff.
