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!

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?Tweet was deleted - but here's a snapshot:

Uh, he is treading some very dangerous territory there.
I guess I was wrong also. You can acknowledge visits also, can't you? Just officials or unofficials also?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...)
Oh they'll keep right on thinking that.Not really.

#PeachJam crowd witnessed both Alterique Gilbert and Chris Lykes make argument for top PG in their respective classes
Just posting an interesting tweet. And i know Smith, Simmons and Fox are probably the top 3, but Gilbert is definately chipping at their heels. I don't love what-if scenerios, but if Gilbert was 6'2 I'd bet he'd be a top 10-15 player in the class, maybe higherLykes is 5'7 and not currently in any top 100, but I'm sure he's the best in his class...
And I love Gilbert, but once you see Dennis Smith and DeAaron Fox play, I think it's tough to argue that he's in that tier.
Yessir Twitter is blowing up with rave reviews... LesssgoooA lot of love for Alterique Gilbert tonight on Twitter. 22 points, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Believe Moss is actually on their 16U team. P.J. Washington, D.J. Harvey and maybe another player or two.TJ Moss Team Penny
And others I am sure but we have a thread below about this '18 kid and a recent offer according to his dad.
