HEAD COACH JASON HOOTEN:
"Usually you expect a junior college transfer to take awhile to adjust to Division I basketball. But Gilberto made an impact for us from the start last year. The quality coaching he received both at Florida Air Academy and Collin County has been a big factor. Gilberto plays extremely hard and is a great competitor. He is a good defender and rebounder who gets excellent low post position."
