Was checking out 247 a little while ago and came across this about Gilmore

Prospect Note- Gilmore is serous about improving his footwork. To do so, he's playing for his school's tennis team. At practice Tuesday, Gilmore's coach told 247Sports that the 273-pound Gilmore actually is a pretty solid player.

I like the kids attitude and wanting to improve!

Good find - playing tennis can only help him. Plus, it's a great game

Everything about this guy screams he will be successful.


To improve his footwark, he is doing tennis

There have been several tweets of him going do workouts alone

When asked if LaCouture's committment would affect his decision, he says no. He wants to compete for playing time. Said today on TV, he might die trying to get playing time, but he just wants a chance and he will work for it.


I think we got a good one.
