PG Alterique Gilbert (McDonald's All-American)

[ConnZag3]

Only makes sense for him to commit to a school with national flag blue as a primary color on July 4th

 

[Matrim55]

LOTS of history.Going way back to Ollie/Sheffer...

Before that. Both Chris Smith & Tate George were Big East champs & NBA players.

 

[Brochacho]

Gilbert lives in one of the original 13 colonies, doesn't count. Not a big score for Ollie.

I hope the kid wears #4 after the July 4th committ

Maybe he'll wear it anyway, in honor of Boo Willingham.

Peach Jam preview from ESPN:

Let’s take a look at five dynamic player combinations that could lead their teams to a championship (all player ranks are for the 2016 class unless otherwise noted):

1. Harry Giles (ESPN No. 1) and Alterique Gilbert (ESPN No. 23), CP3

Giles (PF, 6-foot-10, 230 pounds) is fresh off a gold medal in Greece, where he was a force at the rim and in the paint for the USA U19 squad. Giles dominates the game in many ways, and he has been competing with a purpose since recovering from two ACL tears. Giles might be the most dominant player in the senior class right now who can create a highlight on any given possession.

Gilbert (PG, 6-1, 170), the latest UConn commit, brings outstanding quickness and speed at the point position to go with a scorer's mentality. He is capable of putting up big numbers as a scorer, but Gilbert also understands how to facilitate and set the table as a floor-general. Together, these two are beyond dangerous in both the conversion game and in a halfcourt setting.

I assume Peach Jam games can't be streamed online?

The championship rounds will be on WatchESPN.

From the ESPN article:
ESPNU will televise all the action on Sunday, July 12 with the semifinals at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. and the championship game beginning at 3 p.m. ET.

 

[Yankees32123]

Let's hope our boiii and Team CP3 make it to that round so we can see him. He and Harry Giles make one formidable tandem.

Tweet was deleted - but here's a snapshot:

 

[HuskyBballFan]

But, but.....he's just so small and we can't have small guys at Syracuse and he definitely would have come here but we wanted Battle more and UConn is lucky we turned him down!

 

[upstater]

Uh, he is treading some very dangerous territory there.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Did a tweet get deleted? I don't see anything.

Edit: nevermind, I see it now.

 

[huskiesnyc]

Someone needs to tell Hopkins that his team is already on probation...and it can get a lot worse

 

[RipCity]

I almost want Battle to pick Cuse because that ways he's not at Duke and I think Cuse is screwed still even with Battle.

Is that real? Hopkins has been around long enough to know that's not kosher. Why would he possibly answer there rather than a private text or e-mail?

 

[Fishy]

Uh, he is treading some very dangerous territory there.

Not really.

You can acknowledge that you are (or were) recruiting a kid.

I don't see much more than that there.

(And it happily blows apart the Syracuse fan narrative that they let him go elsewhere...)

 

[HooperScooper]

I guess I was wrong also. You can acknowledge visits also, can't you? Just officials or unofficials also?

 

[OkaForPrez]

Oh they'll keep right on thinking that.

Giving you the benefit and admittedly not knowing the rules, but if you are right it needs to be changed. I don't see how it makes sense that the loser (Hopkins) can talk about our player specifically but KO/UConn can't until he signs? In my opinion what Hopkins tweeted is a big no no and I'm pretty sure that's why he deleted it...

I learned as a kid, there's nothing worse than spoiled old orange juice. 'Rique must have had the same experiences.

CP3 wins in PJ opener. AG with 16 pts 3 assist. They play again at 6 pm.

[mcs333]

AG had 23 points and his teammate Giles had 14 pts and 20 boards. However they were upset 81-69. They play at 9 against team takeover. They lead their div. at 3-0. CP3 is 2-1.
