Great get for them. I would have been very happy to have him here.

 

[cuseguy]

Wonder how Jalen Adams feels about this?

 

[orangefog]

They love having two point guards on the floor at the same time. It should work out for them. Usually they are both good shooters though.

I guess if you can't go to your dream school you go to UConn

Uconn can thank us for gilbert

Uconn can thank us for gilbert

Yup -- it's actually very simple. Gilbert would likely be here if Battle didn't reopen his recruitment. Battle is our priority and Gilbert was a second option. Good luck to Gilbert. He will need it when playing the juggernaut that is the Tulane Green Wave.

 

[pearl31]

Gilbert was a second 4th or 5th option.

let's be real here.

 

[doc05]

let's be real here.

I stand corrected.

Yes, very. Didn't even want to visit us but chooses UConn? That is embarrassing.

Hmmm...punctuation would dictate that eeazy146 tried to visit, but SU didn't want him to.

This is NOT at all to mock Gilbert, but why would a shoulder injury force you to leave in a wheelchair? Best to him, and I hope he recovers fully and quickly!

 

[jdubs30]

That happened to me. Never had a shoulder dislocation in my life. Dislocated it in a freak situation about 9 years ago -- probably have dislocated it 6-7 times since. Once it pops out once, the muscles/ligaments are never the same even with PT.

The pain that can come with a shoulder dislocation is pretty high, he might have been pretty dizzy and didn't have the strength to walk.

Spoke with coach sharman white. Alterique Gilbert is ok. Dislocated the shoulder, he's done it before

Gilbert may need four weeks or so to heal, but should be fine.

Thought he took an elbow to the throat at first. Looked real bad. Rivalry aside, always root for a player to beat injury. Hope he heals up proper.

If his shoulder keeps popping out, he may need surgery at some point to tighten it up.

Hope it doesn't become chronic. Plenty of talent and potential within that student athlete. Nobody deserves to be robbed of that in their youth due to injury.
