Wenyen Gabriel To Kentucky...

Postby billyjack » Thu Aug 13, 2015 10:51 am

Wenyen Gabriel, a probable 5-star, cut his list to 5 schools.
Alphabetically, Connecticut, Duke, Kentucky, Maryland and Providence.

When Ed Cooley offered him last summer, the only other offer he had was from New Hampshire. So Cooley has a great nose for talent. Unfortunately for PC, Gabriel has surged in the last couple of months, and a ton of big names started sniffing around. Actually, Kansas and North Carolina offered him, but they didn't make the cut.

In other PC recruiting news, other possibilities are:
PG-SG - Shamorie Ponds (Top-50, strong St John's lean, final 4 are SJU, Creighton, Minnesota and Providence) and Quentin Jackson (has offers from PC, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Charlotte and Lehigh).
SF-PF-C - Wenyen Gabriel, Sedee Keita (starting to surge, Ed Cooley is big on him), Kevin Marfo (built like Ben Bentil with a similar game) and JJ Matthews (also like Ben Bentil).

The thought is that the Friars will be in excellent shape if we can land one of those guards, and 1 or 2 of those F-C's...

UPDATE:
Gabriel committed to Kentucky today. Can't blame him when Calipari is after you.

Wow all of Cooley's top targets (Abu, Mitchell, Gabriel, and arguably Diallo in 2017 already) seem to blow up. At least this shows he can identify talent
