SF/PF Wenyen Gabriel (Kentucky Commit)

[Scottzer]

I thought I saw somewhere that he's getting visits by Cal tomorrow morning and KO tomorrow afternoon. Forgot if it's on SI or bleacher.

 

[Fishy]

KO is visiting the kid tomorrow.

 

[Scottzer]

Thank God, for a second I thought it was an older piece on one of those sites, and that I'd be catching Holy Hell from the yard!

Is the lack of news cause for concern? Usually there's something posted.

What could be the concern? Let's be realistic about this recruitment.

I don't think Ollie would waste his time if we weren't in it.

Yeah, but there shouldn't be any concern about it. If Wenyen comes, great. If he doesn't that's fine too, we have Durham and Larrier.

Gotta show respect to Mass Rivals and see the recruitment through, but it's unlikely that he comes here and that's ok.

Agreed, Gabriel would be a luxury at this point but not a true necessity.

It always pains me to see New England talent go elsewhere but it seems like that will be the case here. I know a bunch of Maryland "insiders" and they are already marking him down as committed

UConn: “I think it’s cool [that they play small forwards at the four spot] because at the next level they’re able to translate that and play the three. A lot of schools have been doing that. A lot of schools say that they can play you at the four but I don’t know if they want you to stay at the four all year. That’s going to play a role.

 

[Ricker]

It may be that we have the position 'covered', and with quality players, but Gabriel is elite and I want him and a 3 pt sniper in this class if at all possible. Okay, I admit 2 snipers would be better still. Powell & Jackson

 

[Yonick]

Gabriel, or not, UConn is getting a great 2016 class

Wenyen just retweeted Juwan Durham's tweet from a couple weeks in which Juwan announced that he was committing to UConn. Probably means nothing but at least it's something UConn related.

I think it means something, just have no idea what.

I still think UCONN has a good shot with Gabriel... Oz thinks so and he is a legitimate insider (Don't listen to Zionn's "next" BS).

- I hope Vance Jackson commits to Maryland so that takes them out of the picture (Maryland is in his top 2)
- I don't think PC has much of a chance
- I think Harry Giles committing to Duke probably takes them out as well, and I believe Duke leads for Giles.
- I think UK also has a good chance, but it all depends on who else commits.

The longer his recruitment takes the better UCONN's chances get.

You mean Memphis?

Vance Jackson does not have a top 2. Are you thinking of Mario Kegler?

Yes meant Mario Kegler... my bad.

Thanks Man!

 

[RipCity]

Mario Ziegler would scare me off less than a 21 year old Larrier.

Gabriel has reasons not to pick any school if he wants to find them.

 

[RipCity]

Kegler*

 

[tcf15]

Randy Edsall doing everything he can to keep Gabriel from committing to Maryland

[mdkhusky]
