He comes out of a great NCAA Division 2 conference (Great Lakes Valley) and he had a solid overall college career at Olney and UIS. Erebuni Cedars was looking for an all around wing type player and they really liked the video they watched on Gilwan. David and I are really excited for him and feel he will have a great first year as a pro" said Michael Stinnett (Free Agency Director of Scouting).
