NCAA Basketball: Top 5 options for graduate transfer Admon Gilder
By Chris Kern
A few NCAA Basketball programs have the chance to pick up a big-time point guard to add to their 2019-20 squads in Admon Gilder.
Admon Gilder was a big impact player during his time with the Texas A&M Aggies. He is a quality point guard who helped them advance to the Sweet 16 twice in his three years. One of those included the 2017-18 team which upset 2nd seeded North Carolina in the second round of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, 86-65 to advance to the Sweet 16.
He wasn’t a starter during his freshman year, but he still played over 20 minutes per game as a key reserve. Gilder would be a starter during his next two seasons which included good play on both sides of the ball. During those three seasons, he averaged 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.
His ability to run an offense and impact the game in different ways is something that many teams could benefit from if they were to get his commitment. He is a quality basketball player, but some health concerns are there which kept him out for all of the 2018-19 season.
He was dealing with a blood clot situation this past year which is the reason he sat out. It’s a serious situation, but he has been cleared to return to basketball activities so he should be good to go for whatever team he ends up with.
He is a 6’4″ point guard that will be a big addition to any team he ends up with. There are a handful of schools interested in him and it’s possible even more could come about. Here’s a look at the top five teams in the mix as he gets his visits underway.
