CG Temple Gibbs (Notre Dame Commit)

[tcf15]

Alex Kline ‏@TheRecruitScoop
UConn has offered a scholarship to 2016 guard Temple Gibbs of Seton Hall Prep (NJ).

247 has a top 50 composite ranking on him.

 

[ctchamps]

Name and color of uniform implies that he is a lock for a rival AAC school.

I'll beat @Zionn and say next.

We got the youngest and the best of the Hamilton brothers, now let's get the youngest and the best of the Gibbs brothers.

If he's half as good as his older brother he'll be pretty dam good.

Ollie is just trying to stay alive with this offer and is really testing how deep our love is for him.

Based off this highlight video, he looks virtually identical to Ashton in both game play and build.

Both around 6'2. Both strong for their size
three point marksman and good distributor
BUT, looks like he lacks true athleticism and speed, just like Ashton.

Disclaimer:
Yes, I realize this is just a highlight video and know virtually nothing about him. Just first glance reactions

Temple played along side Briscoe this past summer in AAU ball & played well.

So with UConn offering Temple, does this mean we'll also offer Sterling when he graduates this spring & looks to jettison that dumpster fire @ Seton Hall for his last season of eligibility?

I mean they would never play together so that doesn't really do anything

Way too early to count a 2016 in stone anywhere.

His brother Ashton is still one of the best spot up 3pt shooters I've seen in college the last 10 years.

So it's possible @CallMeBruce's source was right! Or maybe the source mixed up the Gibbs brothers.

I'm counting this is as a win.

Wasn't there a report of Sterling Gibbs being on campus too? Not saying Sterling is coming to UConn, but it makes sense if Temple was visiting. Sterling has options after this season too. He's probably looking out for Temple.

So we're Staying Alive in the Gibbs sweepstakes?

It would be a Tragedy if we don't get this kid.

UConn would be trying to Stayin Alive...

 

[CAHUSKY]

When the feelings gone and you can't go on.............oh wait, that was the Stone recruitment. Never mind.

Does it help us or hurt us that Maurice died?

 

[RipCity]

If he commits to Seton Hall, I'll hold a candlelight vigil for 1/2 of this board.

Outstanding work as always, 3.

So If we land Sterling does that make us a favorite for Temple?

It probably doesn't hurt, but several folks on the other thread say that the package deal with the Gibbs bros was just a rumor.

As long as we get one of Gilbert, Fisher, Gibbs the Younger or Heron in the 2016 class, we're in great shape.
