They are saying he is 5' 9" and 165#. That's probably in his high-heeled sneakers and soaking wet with his sweats on. You know how they like to exagerate physical stats.

I know the kid and he is more on the 5'10" side

What can you tell us about his game?

One thing I really liked from looking at his stats this year is that he shot a very high percentage from the arc(44%). That is one thing that really hampers our current small PG (Luster). I think Luster's struggles are why you may see some skepticism towards a little guard, but if they have to respect his perimeter shot, it exposes the opposing team to his speed and it sounds like Gilmore has that in spades.

Obviously he has nice assist numbers (over 6 per game) although it does look like Jones County plays a pretty high tempo. Still, seems like he could be a nice fit for what we need.

We really need someone that can step in right away and run the team.

Has he visited yet?

He actually visited and he is making a decision soon...I think it will be some type of formal announcement.

He mentioned earlier in the thread that he knows the kid. Plus, jc intimated as much in his post a few days ago and his info is solid.

This sounds like a good recruiting class. I'm guessing Grabau will be red shirted this coming season. Is Gibson still on the roster?

Someone needs to tell him to sh!t or get off the pot! I'd like to see him back...he could be a beast on the boards...but we've got some talent that we know that WANT to be on this team...so if he needs to make up his mind.
