Former UConn guard Alterique Gilbert finds success, ‘living his best life’ at Wichita State

Is it? Was there a more detailed plan that wasn't revealed? Hurley has a plan for all his players. Heck, he has a plan for his recruits. But plans take work.

And JC used to rush out onto the court for the express purpose of calling a player a "stupid 12-letter word". That didn't help their game, either.

You know it didn't help their game? Good coaches know the difference between someone wanting to talk about being better and someone working to being better. I'm willing to bet JC knew what he was doing the vast majority of the time. Does KO get that kind of deference? Of course not. But neither does Vance Jackson.

I'm pretty sure it didn't. This is a copycat spot and successful practices are emulated. I've only seen that move from JC.

I applaud any kid who had the good sense to get away from the awful situation Kevin Ollie created. In the hundred plus year history of UConn basketball, no UConn team had ever lost more than 5 games by 20 or more points. Ollie's last season resulted in 8 games where they got blown out by 20 or more. He simply did not have the capabilities to successfully run a D1 program, and many of the kids could see that.

It is possible that both were head cases.

With the Covid eligibility rules this year can AG play another year?

Yup!

Gratuitous? Yes. Unfair? While I respect your opinion, I beg to differ. This is a player who was given a much bigger role than his play deserved due to various injuries, and spent his year here worried that his role wasn't big enough and publicly whining about it. I don't wish him poorly in life, but would I take pleasure in beating the crap out of his current team? Yes, I would.

Arkansas is pretty good...we‘ll see...
