Geez, I had no idea Gilbert was like this. It wouldn't surprise me in the future to find out that he has some kind of non-performance enhancing drug issue or even gets a few domestic violence charges thrown his way. The choking thing is just weird.
He rubbed pretty much every SEC team the wrong way when he was at Tennessee, except Tennessee. He is the type of player that you hate but want on your team. He is a lot like his coach at Tennessee (rubs people the wrong way). Some thought it might change being away from Tennessee, but I guess not.
