I already had him penciled in as ours.
Didn't we have an ex Kansas football player on the team last year?
Took some time to watch some some highlights on Gilbert. Nice! He's a threat at all three levels. Quick 3 point shot, great handles, strong can drive to the hoop, and a good midrange jump shot. Not knocking Gabe or Holmes, but he looks better than either on the offensive end of the floor. Doesn't look to have any holes in his game.
Same! Just watched the highlights from his 25 point game against WASU last year. He's long and extremely athletic. Looks like his upside is huge and he was gonna be the main scoring threat next year for the Rebels. He passes the eye test, for sure. Would be a great get.
Let's please just not work Jared Homan into this somehow.
I like Keshon Gilbert a lot. He could be very impactful for us. It looks like he’s ours to lose right now but the transfer portal is always weird so you never know.
Would head butting an opponent count?
No debate he has potential.........but TJ just had to dismiss one of his legacy players who followed him from UNLV due to attitude. Is Gilbert really worth that stretch?
Because every player who has ever demonstrated an "attitude problem" at any time is exactly the same player and will wind up exactly the same.
I don't see a stretch. TJ appears to be recruiting a player who might actually come here who he believes, based on past evaluation and recruiting, will be a good fit. He doesn't appear to be stubbornly passing over better players in order to fulfill some legacy ideal.
One of the nicest guys we've had in the Iowa State football program David Montgomery punched a Baylor player right in front of the ref. I'd take him back in a heartbeat
If you can find tape on the Gilbert incident it was basically nothing. But I get it, you see "headbutt opponent" and "ejection" in a headline and now he's untouchable. Athletes aren't choir boys, I've seen a lot worse things done to and from our women's team to warrant your reaction vs what Gilbert is accused of
This was the specific incident if you haven't seen. Feel free to read the comments below as they can't believe this is what warranted an ejection.
Thats some of the most weaksauce **** I've ever seen. Maybe there's a better angle but that doesn't even look like a headbutt or like he even made contact.
It was relatively tame but deserved to be ejected. Not making character judgments but I get why he was booted. Ejim flipped off the BYU crowd and he's one of my favorites.
That's kind of a stretch in it's own. Apples to oranges. You can't compare one player to another based on being on the same squad, and having 1 incident. Only shows me he's tough too. I don't want a bunch of soft players like Prohm had.
Hogue.....still one of my favorite players, with or without toothpick.
That's a T and almost could have been a double for the Nevada player getting in his face like that, but an ejection? Did he touch him? That was just a "get out of my face".
No clue on the source but I love the clips here of Gilbert. He's got a really high ceiling I think.
