kid looks like a uconn guard and would benefit from not playing zone defenses and playing in a pro-style offense by a former pro
The big difference is Louisville doesn't put anyone in the NBA, UConn does.
We just got recruits who said it didn't matter bc of our ooc and TV exposure. Don't think its that big. Kids went to vcu for crying out loudActually, the big difference is the substitution of a "C" for an "A".
"ACC" vs. "AAC"
I think he did cut it. Us louisville Cuse Illinois and Texas I thinkEven though he says he hasn't cut his list down from 5, I'm pretty positive he will pick either us or Louisville. I'd give us a 55-45 chance to land him but I don't feel as good as I did last month.

PURVIS AND ADAMS NEED TO BE ON TWITTER TWEETING AT HIM SHOWING HIM LOVE,TEXTING HIM SOME LOVE AND THOSE DOG PAW EMOJIS!!!Planning to decide in September.
While other five-star players are taking their time and moving through the process, Gilbert took the first step by cutting his list to five last month.
Connecticut, Louisville, Illinois, Texas and Syracuse remain for the No. 23-ranked prospect in the ESPN 100.
The Huskies received his first official visit.
“It was my first time being on a college campus, so I learned a lot from that,” Gilbert said. “They showed me a lot of things I wasn’t expecting, as far as basketball, on the court, off the court. I had a lot of fun there.”
Connecticut is thought to be in good shape, but Louisville and Illinois are also in consistent contact with Gilbert. The Cardinals recently nabbed five-star small forward V.J. King, and that opened up Gilbert’s eyes a bit.
“I’m talking to V.J. a lot,” he said. “I’ve been watching him the past couple of years, and I like his game. I think that was a big move for Louisville to get V.J., so I’m definitely looking into that opportunity.”
Gilbert said he plans to decide in September.

Confirms decision date will be before September and maybe around late August.
Calls Syracuse his dream school, but they haven't been in contact with him lately.
Really sounds like it's UConn, Louisville, and Illinois right now.
Cuse is his dream school? Yikes
Hopefully not. If he sees JA as a negative, he should feel the same with Louisville, who will have a JR Quentin Snider ahead of him.Will he see JA as a negative in regard to the issue of playing time?
Gilbert will get playing time at UConn, lets be serious. Ollie can easily run a 3 guard lineup with JA RP and AG. Calhoun will be gone (not that he'd have to worry about him) He would certainly play over Cassell Jr. Larrier will be eligible but he'll prob play a DeAndre Daniels role of stretch 4.
2016-2017 Potential lineup
Purvis
Adams
Gilbert
Larrier
Brimah (or Enoch if Brimah goes to the draft)
Obviously they need some more guys in the 2016 class...maybe diallo reclassifies etc.
