Gilbert elevates his game
When the class of 2016 Rivals150 was updated after the high school season, Rivals.com received some calls from people concerned thatAlterique Gilbert had been ranked a bit too low at No. 77. As it turns out, those who thought he should have been a bit higher were absolutely right.
Playing for Team CP3 in the EYBL, the 6-footer from Lithonia (Ga.) Miller Grove has been outstanding while leading his team to a league-best 11-1 record. During Sunday's final game of the Houston session he was as solid as ever in leading CP3 to a win over King James.
Confident and under control, Gilbert scored 21 points, handed out 10 assists and grabbed four rebounds in a fast-paced 98-85 win. A previous concern with Gilbert had been that he appeared to have relatively average quickness but he has added another gear. On top of that, he changes speeds well and makes great decisions with the ball.
In short, Gilbert is a leader and as if he is well on his way to being a very good college point guard.
Gilbert recently took an official visit to Connecticut and said that he connected with Kevin Ollie's message of hard work overcoming adversity. However, Gilbert said that he's not quite ready to make a decision and he wants to be sure that he sees his other four finalists Louisville, Illinois, Syracuse and Texas.
Gilbert plans to visit Illinois next month, per me.
