As a junior in 2018-19, Gilbert had his best year, averaging 12.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 25 games.
As a senior this past season, Gilbert posted averages of 8.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in 30 games.
Wichita State has had eight players leave the program since the abrupt end to the 2019-20 season in Morris Udeze, Erik Stevenson, Jamarius Burton, Grant Sherfield, Noah Fernandes, DeAntoni Gordon, Tate Busse and Asbjorn Midtgaard.
JaDun Michael is the only other commit in the Shockers’ 2020 class.
