Guard is in his fifth season and third school
Previous stops were at Texas, Seton Hall
DES MOINES
When it came to recruiting guard Sterling Gibbs, Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie turned off the bright lights.
Gibbs, who began his career at Texas and transferred to Seton Hall after one season, decided to look for yet another school as a graduate transfer last year. Once impressionable, he was no longer impressed by the over-the-top, glitzy recruiting pitches he’d experienced twice before.
“They went through the process. They’ve seen the videos. They’ve seen the pictures,” Ollie said of Gibbs and other fifth-year players.
