Is Sterling Gibbs related to Temple Gibbs?
 
I've been hearing Gibbs-to-UConn rumors for a little while, but they're everywhere now.
 
.-.
I remember reading a while ago Gibbs was staying at Seton Hall but with all of the problems with that program it makes sense he would look elsewhere. Hope these Gibbs to UConn rumors have legs, he would be a perfect fit for us. He would cover any shooting and ballhandling problems we have, would also help Jalen out a ton.
 
They're all just CGs who are filthy shooters and none of them leave early for the draft. It would be awesome to be the new home for their fam.

If either Gibbs or Gilbert committed, would that hinder our chance with the other?

No. Gibbs will be a senior and will only be here for the 15-16 season and Gilbert wont be a freshman until fall of 2016 so they would not even play together.

Yeah that's not what he asked at all.

I think Temple Gibbs could play both guard spots. He's 6'2 with a 6'8 wingspan, and is a good slasher and shooter. So there'd be plenty of burn available for both without question. Worked well when we had two point guards playing major minutes in 2013-2014.

Adams?

I also could see how someone could speculate that perhaps there hasn't been an announcement of a Gilbert commitment because they're waiting to see how the Sterling/Temple Gibbs situation unfolds before anything becomes official. I think that's a bit far fetched/optimistic but who knows.

We'll have plenty of room for Gibbs and Gilbert, should that situation arise.

Agreed with Bruce. And neither Temple Gibbs or Alterique Gilbert are going to be afraid of TSam or SC taking their minutes. Plenty of playing time for the hypothetical 4 top guards (Senior Purvis, Soph Adams, Freshman Gilbert & Gibbs), especially if we have a freshman SF like Kegler with no true 3 behind him. Getting way ahead of myself here obviously, but there's room for both without a doubt.

waiting on the latest from Gilbert has me anxious, the guy who posted the stuff about Gilbert being a done deal on the Rivals board has shown himself to be very reliable with his info.

That guy is a little rough around the edges, but he seems to have a direct line with certain members of the staff.

Alterique is a much better fit and player than Sterling - He'll want to demand the ball right away, he's a scorer. Plus Gilbert's a 3-4 year guy. I don't know where Zion got that Gibbs rumor, but I'm hearing the opposite.

Temple Gibbs might have smoke.

Well Sterling and Gilbert would never play together, so it wouldn't really matter who the better fit is.

Sterling comes here, it's for next year. He wouldn't sit out.

I think it's a pretty big assumption to say Gilbert, who won't even be a freshman for a year and a half, is better than a guy who averaged 16 PTS and 3 AST while shooting 43% from the floor and 3. Plus they don't even overlap in years on the team, so I don't get why you're comparing Sterling Gibbs with Alterique. They're unrelated pursuits.

Not sure why Gibbs being a scorer would be viewed as anything but a positive. Did you see our half-court offense last year?

The kid is an experienced point guard who shot 44% from 3 and has no impact on our recruitment of 2016 point guards. He pretty much checks the box on every single thing our backcourt is currently lacking for next year.

Plus for next year this would move Tsam to the bench when we go small ball.

SG
JA
RP
Dan Hurley
AB

Like that lineup!

I said fit-wise. Of course the kid can ball. Remember this is Purvis's and DHam's team next year, they'll be expecting to take the most shots.

May have misspoken, but he's a better fit.

Yep meaning he would never play with Temple. It would help in recruiting Temple though.

If we turn away Gibbs, a really talented player who fills an obvious need, because having him here might hurt Hamilton's or Purvis' feelings, then we need to reevaluate how the program is being run.
 
Plenty of more shots to be taken if we have an offense that is anywhere near efficient. A lineup of Gibbs, Purvis, Hamilton, Miller, Brimah, 6: Adams should be one of the higher scoring teams among the high major conferences.
