Typical response on all the message boards. Everyone was popping boners over this kid when he first jumped on the radar screen and now that he's signed with SJU everyone is downplaying him.
Had he signed with UC everyone would be acting like he's the second coming of KMart. Kid looks like a legit prospect, I wish we would have gotten him, on paper I'd rather have him over Mbodji. |

Having done more research on Modji I believe he will fit the bill fine, and my research says he has a better overall game than GG, but may not be as physically ready at this moment. Again, many say Gift is better suited at the 3but GG's ball skills and lack of range make it difficult to translate that to High D1 ball. Remember, not much info is out there on either of these guys. Time allows you to look deeper. |

I will repeat what I said awhile back. If we can get 6-8 points and 5-6 boards a game from a back up post guy we will be golden. Gaines will give us defense, shot blocking and defense. With the athleticism and length of Mbodji, Gates, Jackson and Gaines, the Bearcats will give teams trouble in the paint.

Quote from a coach whose team defeated GG's team:
“God’s Gift is a big, physical 5 man who has big, strong hands that enable him to really rebound,” said one JUCO coach whose team beat Erie this season. “He scored a lot because of his superior athleticism, height, and strength this year. In order for him to be an impact at the high-major level he will have to really improve on his back- to-the-backet scoring. At only 6-7, or 6-8, will also need to improve his skill-set, especially his left hand.” |

Just watched ESPN first take and they interviewed GG. Can't help but be a little bitter but least it appeared his dribbling skills were lacking. But man, size wise, dude is a big guy.
