PG Alterique Gilbert (McDonald's All-American)

[rip7774]

Anytime I read size. I default to thinking how many Hilton Units is that?

Sigh. I was in my 20s then, I miss those days of the world being in front of me and no responsibility for kids, etc. and the 2004 was my favorite team ever since it was the first time and only time I traveled to see a Husky game in Connecticut.

Maybe my eyes were deceiving me or the relative size of the other players was smaller (could very well be the case). Just looked bigger to me. Boat always looked like a shrimp...didn't get that from looking at Alterique.

I think you're right, though, even though they are the same height. Like @aceboon says, Gilbert is more muscular and stronger than Boat was coming out of high school.

yeh gilbert looks like a running back. almost like byron eaton when he was an elite txas hs football prospect then turned that down to play point at okstate. less stocky than eaton though and quicker off the floor.

Gilbert could add an inch or 2 at his age, not happenin' for Boat.

I hear there are pills for that.

His quickness and body control remind me of a young Kemba. I seem to remember Kemba having a decent season under Ollie's tutelage.

The last game Gilbert appeared to be out of gas. His play tapered off by the end of the tournament. I suspect that even in a BE type of tournament he would have kept up his level of play. The Peach Jam format was just brutal on these kids. And a kid like Gilbert who employs an extra gear to make up for his height probably used up the fuel in his tank quicker than others.

I expect him to be special at UConn.

Looks like he is playing in the Nike Global challenge on the USA south roster

[CardiacAndre7]

Is Gilbert on East or South?

Oh okay cool. I assume Ollie is watching East for DJ Harvey and Nick Richards. Maybe keeping an eye out for VJ too

Is King considered to be a shaky commit to Louisville?

In terms of his frame, he reminds me so much of a mini Ben Gordon. Kid may be on the short side, but he's got a ton of strength in his upper body. And he's got longgg arms which he uses to achieve excellent handle, keeping the ball very close to the floor.

Kid looks like a beast, can't wait him on the court

 

[mcs333]

East plays South at 9 tonight. Both teams 2-0.

[noeynox]

That sounds an awful lot like Kemba.

 

[tcf15]

Dude scored 23 in the 2nd half...

 

[3uconn]

12 of 19 over all. Blistering 6 of 10 from three in that game.
