Looks like our 2009 recruit is starting off well for Gulf Coast CC. I only live a few blocks from the GCCC campus and will get to a few games this year and report back....

AIKEN, S.C. - Marquez Gilstrap hit a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer and Gulf Coast rode that momentum to a 90-80 win over No. 21 Aiken Technical College in South Carolina. Gilstrap scored 17 of his team-high 24 points in the second half to get Gulf Coast's first win of the season over a nationally ranked opponent. Brad Reese scored 22 points, Gabriel Charley 15 and Mosley graduate Derrio Green 10. "The best thing I saw out of our guys was a fiery competitive nature that I haven't seen much out of them," Gulf Coast coach Jay Powell said. "They buckled down and tried to play defense and got loose balls. It's like they flipped the switch on."

Sounds like a good recruit. I guess I didn't even know we were recruiting him. But keep us updated. Appreciate it.
 
keep the updates rolling!

I especially like the part about trying to play good defense...
 
being that he might only be here for a yr, he better be able to come in and contribute right away! From what everyone has been saying, I'm not worried about it - sounds like a good one
 
Something I think is important is the fact that Gilstrap will come into this program as a man. There will be no need to develop his body and he should be able to compete with the bigger, stronger guys in the Big XII. We have a lot of young guys that need to fill out, but he should bring a maturity, both physically and emotionally, to the team.
 
I noticed on their roster, Gilstrap is listed as a Sophomore. Did he get a year a year back? The last I heard is that he was going to apply for medical hardship after a year here.

I guess I'm asking, does someone know how this situation went down?

We need to hire there coach asap. He got a junior college team to play defense.
 
Great update on him.

Now what i would love to see is him blow up, thus justifying us getting Gilstrap instead of his teammate Reece.

I think what jahfg said is so true, he will come in next year with a juniors body as will Garrett, Brackins, Staiger and our freshmen Mann, Pomlee and Hamilton will all have added size we will be in a position to finally do some damage with a young team.

Juco players are only freshman or sophs. He simply only has a season of eligibility remaining, which when he arribves, would make him a junior with only a season left. He certainly won't have the credits to be a senior.
