Kentucky coach John Calipari likes athletic, versatile players at every position. That’s why ESPN national recruiting director Paul Biancardi thinks 6-9 Wenyen Gabriel will fit nicely into the Kentucky program after making his verbal commitment to the Wildcats.
He had a dominant summer on the adidas Gauntlet averaging 17.4 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.
“He went from No. 84 in our player rankings to No. 23 over the summer. It’s the biggest jump for anyone ever in our class rankings,” said Biancardi.
A little over a year ago Gabriel had scholarship offers only from Providence and home-state New Hampshire. After his summer play, he picked UK over Duke and Maryland but had a bevvy of other offers.
Biancardi said Gabriel and Jones will allow Calipari to get back to more man-to-man pressing because of their length and versatility.
“They will be able to shrink the floor and cover more ground. John’s teams are predicated on defense and they will both fit perfectly,” Biancardi said. “On offense, they are similar in ways but Gabriel is more of a power forward/small forward and Sacha is primarily a power forward. They can both shoot the 3 and space the floor. Sacha especially can be a low post scorer, too.”
