Alterique Gilbert plays on ESPNU

[James]

Going up vs oak hill tonight on ESPN2, uconn target lindell wigginton should match up with AG a fair bit. oak hill also a bunch of talent, multiple top100 guys from both 16 and 17, I have a hard time seeing Miller grove toughing this one out.

I think a team needs different personalities; I don't mind guys that are emotional and get pumped up after a big shot. We had a great balance in 2014, with the emotion of Boat and the business-like demeanor of Shabazz. I think we can have something similar with Jalen and Alterique; Jalen wears his emotions a little more on his sleeve, and Alterique is all business.

Totally agree, but I have to admit Shabazz's demeanor was just ice cold. The guy was an absolute warrior. Love that kid forever.

Playing right now, team is getting mostly dominated by Oak Hill. AG is great but he needs to be more assertive on offense from what I've seen, especially with his team having alot less talent than all te teams here

Gilbert with a nice run out to score in transition. He is fast and finished at the rim with a defender trailing. Can't wait to see more.

This UAB football commit playing for Miller grove , #4 raylon Richardson, might be the best athlete on the floor.

21-19 at half

21-19 at half

just joined at halftime, did AG do any better in the latter part of the first half? Miller Grove only down 2, so it doesn't sound like they have been dominated too bad.

Signs of fatigue in AG?

Turned in at the end of the half myself. So have no idea. He looked great on the break just before the half.

 

[gtcam]

AG is looking just fine - thank you

nice start to second half, breakaway reverse dunk completed with ease. I think aceboon said he was measured in at 5'10.5 in shoes, so that would be about 5'9 without shoes, roughly.

Holy cow

He's playing on little sleep after travel and McD's whatever and looking this focused? I like this Miller Grover team as a whole. They are pretty intense on the defensive end.

 

[ctchamps]

He and Jalen can do some nice things next year

 

[ctchamps]

He finishes at the rim!

Announcers re: AG: "he's got mental toughness."

Biancardi loves Gilbert he's been praising him nonstop

 

[3rdbass]

Fun game to watch. The team is really scrappy and AG is really asserting himself in the second half after letting his teammates have their chances in the first 16 minutes. Miller Grove needs to keep hitting 3's to win.

If he wants to play at UConn he'll have to learn how to miss some of those
But to be serious I'm so impressed with the coach of Miller Grove. Maybe he should be considered for our staff

 

[80shusky]

Gilbert looks great. He's a little too in love with his three point shot. When he drives he is almost unstoppable. Nice finishes at at rim, steals in the open floor. Very nice.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

The whole Miller Grove team attacks.
