Posted it quickly on twitter last night - but what this team needs this year, is better d on the perimeter - mainly from Gibbs.

The backcourt next year of Jalen and Gilbert has lockdown potential - back to the same blue print of kemba/shabazz and shabazz/boat. I'm not giving up on this year's team, but I think the fireworks are 12 months

I believe it's only about a 25% chance, but if Jalen is back for 2017-2018....

Soph Gilbert
Junior Adams
Soph Jackson/Junior Larrier
Soph Durham/Soph Diarra
Junior Enoch / (hopefully Frosh Brown)

Could be epic
 
So if I'm reading and following these tweets correctly, a tax return and filing company has a basketball team...? On which a Puke commit plays?

Some unbelievable moves in there from Alterique. Including a rodman like dive into the stands that caused the crowd to gasp. Miller grove has a stacked schedule jesus
 
I can't wait for Alterique + "Freedom of Movement".

But let's be real we are UConn so whistles will be swallowed.
 
Miller Grove would be nothing without Alterique.

This kid will finish up there with the Kembas and Shabazzs by the time he finishes his career at UConn. Don't think I've ever seen a more UConn ready guard than Gilbert.
 
You guys are dbags. Nothing wrong with some excitement for an incoming player, hyperbole or not. You guys will s*** on a guy whether he's hyping up a player or trashing him.

Dude its blasphemy to compare a high schooler to Kemba and Bazz. We didn't allow Jalen that opportunity either.

Its not trashing the player its just UConn guards are great, and AG has not earned that right. My suggestion to you is don't never believe the mixtape hype, no guard shoots 100% efficiency.

Kemba and Bazz don't grow on trees, it's extremely rare to get two players of that caliber in succession. To predict that type of success for a high schooler based on clips and high school games is nuts. He's undoubtedly an exciting prospect, but let's let him be Alterique for now.

But when the kid comes in and doesn't get 18/6 as a freshman, those same people will trash him as a bust. I'd rather trash on posters than on players. Temper expectations ahead of time and enjoy the kids growth.
 
With extremely few exceptions, freshmen are freshmen.
That said. I have been as excited about AG as I have been about anyone except Andre. Not for how he will play the moment he gets here, but for how he will be playing when he leaves.

Boat's mixtapes were equal to AG's, and he too was a prolific scorer in high school. With that said after four years his jersey is not on that wall. We've had some great ones, and that's an understatement if there is one. That LSU freshman comes once every 4 or so years, meaning Div 1 ball is not easy to adjust to, or dominate for that matter.

I'm excited and giddy to bring in AG, but many of us have seen this motion picture before with different endings.

Exactly. He's short, so like Boat, the odds of him jumping early are minimal. Will be a stud as an upperclassmen, and hopefully one of those guys who can dominate the college scene and lead them to a championship.

Did Kemba or Bazz average 18/6 as a freshman? All those guys took time to develop into their games, I don't think he expects him to be Kemba day one. The guy definitely wasn't saying it like it was a matter of fact, or that he was making a bold prediction or something. He said it in the same way a fan will over zealously be excited for a players future, everyone does it. It's more that 3 guys start making fun of him for being a teenager or something as if that's not welcome on this board.

I get your point, but Boat was not a five-star recruit. Most five star recruits end up playing very well especially in Connecticut jerseys. that said, I'm not expecting much out of any incoming freshman.

We teenagers are well aware that receiving crap because of our age is part and parcel of being here. I personally rationalize it by reminding myself that I have a fuller head of hair and more physical vitality than a good chunk of the 'Yard.

Huge difference between being excited and welcoming (which I'm willing to bet we all are) and unrealistic expectations, which, given the history of this board, often end in a sh_t show. Those of us tempering those expectations are doing so to avoid the sh_t show.

Speak for yourself whipper snapper, I'll put my head of hair and youthful spring up against any of you drunken college fools. :)
