PG Alterique Gilbert (McDonald's All-American)

[CardiacAndre7]

Kemba-esque

Kemba-esque

I was just thinking the same comparison...but more polished at this age.
Sure, hope we can still get him to be a Husky!

 

[sammydabiz]

A backcourt of Jalen Adams & Alterique Gilbert & Diallo would be borderline criminal.

 

[Yankees32123]

He is too perfect for UConn and UConn too perfect for him to not come here.

 

[husky99]

Wow..nice video.
Great speed
Amazing hands
Solid lateral movement
Pass on a dime
Great shot

 

[David 76]

Alterique, Please come to UConn! You can call me Betty if I can call you Al.

 

[mauconnfan]

Wow he's getting stronger and more mature each and every video. The kids a player who fits us KO perfectly. Would be a super get, super he seems to be getting better every year in a big way and kudo's to him for that.

 

[Rewster]

Wow..nice video.
Great speed
Amazing hands
Solid lateral movement
Pass on a dime
Great shot

I'll add:
Body control
Poise
Pace
Strength
Anticipation

He made Thon Maker look stupid biting on the layup fake.

His innate ability to penetrate would compliment Bailey's game a lot too...

 

[James]

tiny kid 5'11 wingspan. definitely not kemba.

Don't look at ESPN. Look more at Rivals/Scout/247Sports. Those are all updated more often.

 

[TIP-IN]

I thing that matters is the size of this kids heart. If he has a heart like Boat he will do great things. Forget wingspan, etc. , he looks like the real deal to me.

Bazz was the business.

Should take Texas out of the running, although recent comments by Gilbert had already suggested that.

UConn and Louisville? Any idea when he wants to decide?

That is what it seems like. A couple recent interviews said he hopes to decide by the end of August, early September.

Love the quickness on this kid an absolute waterbug with a lightning change of direction and crossover. Not really a must get but man he would look great in a UC uni.

Definitely a must get for 2016.

 

[JimHurley]

This kid is a UConn guard. Lock. Him. Up.

What factors do you think itll come down to if it is between us and 'ville?

Kevin Ollie and his NBA experience will be a major factor I think. Gilbert has mentioned that in the past.

Well it seems we are the only team to have Ollie if I'm correct.

FWIW a pretty connected guy over on Rivals says AG is committing on the 4th. I guess we'll see.

To us?

 

[Yankees32123]

Great, now I'm going to be spending the 4th constantly refreshing Twitter/boneyard.

Louisville has started to recruit Bruce Brown, who is marketing himself as a combo guard. Perhaps connected?
