Gilbert

This will be an ongoing concern throughout the season unfortunately. At least we have Anderson and Vital to step at the guard position. I wouldn't be surprised if JA and CV are our two starting guards to begin the season with AG coming off the bench.

Are you guys for real? Do you not think they know what they're doing? Basketball needs to start soon for the sake of the board.

Non-Issue....Bobby Hurley had diarrhea in the National Championship and managed to recover/have a pretty successful college career....this will pass as well. AG will be fine...really need the new season to start

To paraphrase that old Sports Center commercial:

"AG didn't make the court for the first practice"
"Is that bad?"
"It's not good!"

Shoulders and feet - two things you'd rather not see players injure.

Or back.

Christian Vital still going through concussion protocol. Alterique Gilbert participating in practice. #UConn

Glad Gilbert is practicing. I feel bad for Vital though. Didn't he get a concussion last year too? Get that kid a helmet.

Vital tweeted that he’ll be back on Friday.

I hear Gilbert is out for the season as his shoulder brace is on backorder on Amazon, not scheduled to receive it until April 2018.

I hear they've hired a carpenter to make a mahogany brace. The pine brace didn't hold up well.

If only Pantoni were still alive. The Maestro would make Gilbert a should brace that would be indestructible. Have you looked at those tiles in Gampel lately? They still look brand new!

I have high expectations for our back court this year. I'm sure he will get playing time when he's ready. If he's having shoulder problems still then at least we have plenty of other options.

He's an important player for this team. If he and Terry contribute significantly and the team does well KO will not only make fans happy this season, he will have an easier path getting future recruits.

Gilbert works hard. He's put in the time to be a better player. For his sake I'm hoping he can play and doesn't have further setbacks.
