@coachswhite: Great to have @CoachKO_UConn @UConnMBB in this morning to see Alterique Gilbert (@iBleed_Royal)...
Probably just a layover on his way to Oklahoma City.....

Well Sterling and Gilbert would never play together, so it wouldn't really matter who the better fit is.Alterique is a much better fit and player than Sterling - He'll want to demand the ball right away, he's a scorer. Plus Gilbert's a 3-4 year guy. I don't know where Zion got that Gibbs rumor, but I'm hearing the opposite.
Temple Gibbs might have smoke.
Sterling comes here, it's for next year. He wouldn't sit out.Alterique is a much better fit and player than Sterling - He'll want to demand the ball right away, he's a scorer. Plus Gilbert's a 3-4 year guy. I don't know where Zion got that Gibbs rumor, but I'm hearing the opposite.

I think it's a pretty big assumption to say Gilbert, who won't even be a freshman for a year and a half, is better than a guy who averaged 16 PTS and 3 AST while shooting 43% from the floor and 3. Plus they don't even overlap in years on the team, so I don't get why you're comparing Sterling Gibbs with Alterique. They're unrelated pursuits.Alterique is a much better fit and player than Sterling - He'll want to demand the ball right away, he's a scorer. Plus Gilbert's a 3-4 year guy.

I said fit-wise. Of course the kid can ball. Remember this is Purvis's and DHam's team next year, they'll be expecting to take the most shots.Not sure why Gibbs being a scorer would be viewed as anything but a positive. Did you see our half-court offense last year?
The kid is an experienced point guard who shot 44% from 3 and has no impact on our recruitment of 2016 point guards. He pretty much checks the box on every single thing our backcourt is currently lacking for next year.

Yep meaning he would never play with Temple. It would help in recruiting Temple though.Sterling comes here, it's for next year. He wouldn't sit out.

And to hopefully seal the deal.I feel like KO went to see Gilbert again just to clear up any rumors of him to OKC.

Not sure what you mean, unless you got the names mixed up in your OP. I wasn't referring to Temple. You said "Alterique is a much better fit and player than Sterling - He'll want to demand the ball right away, he's a scorer. Plus Gilbert's a 3-4 year guy." Sterling would be considered a 5th year transfer, eligible right away for 2015. If he were to choose UConn, it would have no impact on Alterique Gilbert, a 2016 recruit.Yep meaning he would never play with Temple. It would help in recruiting Temple though.
You seem very confused, if Sterling Gibbs comes to UConn it's nothing but amazing news.I said fit-wise. Of course the kid can ball. Remember this is Purvis's and DHam's team next year, they'll be expecting to take the most shots.

Wow hey I need a coffee. Thanks tcf for the clarification.Not sure what you mean, unless you got the names mixed up in your OP. I wasn't referring to Temple.

Sterling can come to uconn and really boost the bench. Lions share of minutes at the 1 are still jalens though. Exactly what we need however , a talented guard off the bench... 3rd college team maybe he will be ok filling a role.
Gilbert AND temple gibbs sounds redundant, but who knows Adams has 1&done potential and '16 is Samuels last season
Yeah Gibbs will start if he comes here. Second team all big east two years in a row. That would make Adams transition to college bball so much easier for him and really add depth to our team. To say Sterling Gibbs would be a huge addition would be an understatement. Hes really, really good.If Gibbs comes here, it's as a starter. He was one of the best guards in the Big East last year.
so if we had signed briscoe or newman over adams, would gibbs come here and start over them? because I think adams is pretty much equal to the former.If Gibbs comes here, it's as a starter. He was one of the best guards in the Big East last year.
