Johnnie was a stud of epic proportions. He was a big team guy, and that was never more evident when he agreed to redshirt during the Final 4 year. He could have helped that team inside when Brown and McGee got into trouble, but took one for the team and was a better player for it.
He definitely wan't the most skilled offensive player to ever play at OU, but his offensive game improved ten-fold while he was here. By the time he left, he was a decent free throw shooter, which is a far cry from his frosh year (he was on par with Johnny Pittman at osu as the worst FT shooter I've ever seen in d-1 basketball).
I'd love to have 3 Johnnie Gilberts on next years team. I wonder what he's doing these days? Is he coaching somewhere?
