Gilbert Officially Transfers to WSU

He fought his way back from tough injuries and played his ass off for us. A true Husky who helped bring the program back. May his path forward be blessed.

Have a blessed day.
 
At least he stuck with a basketball school in a semi-football conference. Best of luck!

What's interesting to me is that it looks like he is transferring to WSU for a role at the point. Felt as though he excelled best off of the ball and really struggled when he was at point guard. Anyway I hope that this works out for him and will have to check in for their big games. People are saying this is the first transfer of the Hurley era, which is true, but this was not ugly at all. Durham, Vance and Enoch didn't have nearly as much mutual respect for their head coach as AG. Go Shockers.

I thought Tyson Etienne had really good ball skills when they played us; I'm pretty sure he plays both the point and 2 guard spots. I'm sure AG sees WSU as a top 25 team, give or take, Marshall is an exceptional coach, so an excellent opportunity here for Alterique. Best of luck Al!!
 
So strange - middle of Kansas- don’t get this one at all. I hope he does well but I could easily see him looking back on this this time next year and saying why did I go there? At least go to Georgia or some some mid- lower level SEC/acc school closer to home - why would you want to stay in the same trash conference where everybody knows u? he really rather play in Wichita than back with UConn in the big East atmosphere for five - 7 less minutes a game? disappointing- but he’s still one of my fave huskies in recent memory.

I don't consider a grad transfer, a transfer

Not stay in same dead conference
Not go to a team that’s falling apart
Not go to a team In middle of nowhere
Go closer to home
Stay with UConn in big East
Enough reasons?

You want people to make your destiny for you?

Swap Al for CV and I agree.

Incredible
Some folks just don't give up
I was always plugging for AG even in the chat and heard lots of crap from so many - lots who come on here and wish him the best while saying so much hate on him a mere 3 months ago
AG has come through so much since coming to UConn, physically ans mentally
CV is a fantastic person and player, as is AG

Well both can be true, no? It’s weird for me as a UConn fan that he’s going there. But to AG the person it makes total sense.

At least it is not likely he will be playing against UConn.

Playing time. Change of scenery. Familiar competition. All makes sense to me.

Plus, he's not going in completely cold. He doesn't have time for that.

The middle of Kansas/Middle of nowhere lines are just untrue. Wichita is a city of like 400,000 and the Shockers draw 10k+ per game. Marshall has had them ranked in the top 20 9 of the last 10 seasons and in the top 10 4 in 4 separate seasons. This ain’t Last Chance U.

I’ve been to Wichita more than a few times. It’s a great town especially for hoops. Shockers are their pride and joy. They’re one of the few AAC teams that actually pack their arena.

the more I think about it the more I like the fit. I trust AG did not make this decision lightly

Eh, let’s not overstate it. Ez -it’s still the state of Kansas. Best of luck Al- you were always one of my favorites. Hope it works out
