Kinda looks like a Chris Paul from his early days at Wake. Kid's gonna be a beast
 



Earlier this week I had a conversation with a very well respected scout. I asked him what player was he most impressed with at USA Basketball tryouts? His answer was UCONN commit Alterique Gilbert from Miller Grove HS(GA). He went on to say that Gilbert was the first kid in the gym every morning and the last to leave everyday. This type of work ethic explains why the senior had one of the best summers and continues to impress scouts with his growth at the point guard position.

Gilbert has been in the lab working out with trainer Robert Swain of Swain Basketball Academy. Swain says they have been focusing on his midrange, penetration and conditioning. “We get 5,000 shots up a day”, said Swain.

Does he go by Ricky? Terry? Alterique?
 
Khalid/Ricky
Taliek/Gordon
Kemba/Bazz
Boat/Bazz
Adams/Gilbert

I'm not sure how the rest of the college basketball world has not noticed, but having two starting PGs is a must

What our players (legally) do off the court is their business. And I believe you meant to say "incest survivor in a consensual relationship with a plus-sized gentleman".

They have, but the hard part no one has seemed to be able to replicate is the "UConn toughness" that our great guards have shown.

Good point. Kentucky is going to give it a run with Ulis and the two new guards they recruited. We will see. It's my contention that UCONN gives guards more freedom/responsibility. They are forced to become complete players. The coaches demand the guards perform at a high level and provide the freedom to do almost anything they want.

This is definitely true, and recruits who have committed to Ollie have said those words before directly regarding why they liked KO's style of play.

I've also seen on several occasions fans of blue bloods saying things like "I wish our guards would play like UConn guards" in message boards and forums. As if "UConn guards" have a signature style that you can see if you covered the team name on the chest, it's our signature brand.
