Wichita State landed its first commitment of the spring recruitment period on Saturday when former UConn guard Alterique Gilbert announced that he would be coming to the Shockers.
Coming out of high school, Gilbert was a highly regarded recruit and was ranked a four-star prospect and the No. 32 player in the class, according to 247 Sports. Gilbert ultimately chose UConn, but injuries played a key factor so far in his career.
This past season with the Huskies, Gilbert averaged 8.5 points, 3.7 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 31 games played. Gilbert also had success in his lone game inside Charles Koch Arena as he scored 18 points during the 2018-19 season.
