1)super pumped. 2) interested how Gaffney feels on it, I know when he committed he sounded like he bought in to play Coles role when AG leaves. 3) wonder if this has us back off Langford this year/Diarra next. Also, does this take us 100% out the Ntwambe sweepstakes? Or was staff anticipating getting a hardship?

If Gilbert stays for 20-21 and we land an impact big/wing in next year's recruiting cycle we're a preseason top 25 team. A lot of ifs, but that'd be a scary backcourt.

I mean, yea, obviously. Although I disagree strongly I have already seen us in a reputable top 25 for next year.

Not trying to jump on your post at all but we need to get this "scared about playing time" narrative out of our heads. Memphis cleared out their roster to make room for 8 new studs that will all be fighting for playing time.

We've been bad the last few years because we haven't had nearly enough good players and there is no fight for playing time. UConn before the last few years and every great program brings in as much talent as possible and players fight for playing time, it makes everyone better.

His coach did leave though.

If that’s the case than why not try for the waiver? They’ve been giving them out like hot cakes to men’s and women’s transfers the last 2 years. Can’t be that hard to come up with a valid reason.

Would love to get this kid on the court this year but we will definitely need him after CV leaves and who knows about AG’s fifth year. Huge for 20-21 season

He has no chance at a waiver.

There’s zero chance he plays this season.

I think team will struggle more next year than this year - no Jalen and a bunch of new freshman learning and getting experience. 20-21 they just lose Vitale. Meanwhile these new guys will all have experience and another experienced guy joins them. I think 20-21 will be our year to at least make the tourney.
 
Help me on this. He played at Howard U. Not a basketball Mecca. Is he really that good ? I’m not familiar with him. Everyone seems really excited. Which is great.
 
the good thing about this is that he will have 2 yrs and be good for the young guys
welcome to Guard U
he definitely has some talent- would have been nice to fit in where Jalen left this coming season
