[RondoBaller21]

No Gabriel

 

[GonzoCat90]

All of our guys were invited except Gabriel.

 

[FactCheckerUSA]

I would think Gabriel will still get some individual team workouts. But this tells you his chances of getting drafted in this draft are very slim.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

That has to be a shot to the ego for WG.

Luckily he has other things to be proud of.......VERY proud.

 

[RondoBaller21]

Looks like the reports on Diallo were false. Has him listed as participating.

 

[~Keyser Soze~]

Looks like the reports on Diallo were false. Has him listed as participating.

That would be awkward since the usual suspects have trashed him to death in the other thread.

 

[Smashcat]

Agree but I for one want him back.

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

Are invited and participating mutual?

 

[GonzoCat90]

Are invited and participating mutual?

I don't think so, but the article definitely says participating.

I assumed he was invited but not going. Definitely some mixed signals.

He would crush the measurements for sure.

It does say participating and list the players that turned it dow like Ayton, but no mention of Diallo.

 

[ulismyman]

Well done

 

[RondoBaller21]

How was LiAngelo Ball not on the list??? Must be a misprint

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Agree but I for one want him back.

I, too, want WG back.

 

[Big Cat fan]

I, too, want WG back.

What's he wanting for? They don't want him, this means to return to college.

 

[wildcatfan1208]

I'm not seeing the 2 lewisville player's that declared? Must be a mistake!!

To me, this is very telling about Washington and Vanderbilt getting invites. Despite what we all think on here, a lot of scouts and such think that they are good enough to be invited to the combine and most likely are going to be drafted, potentially even first round. Both players are types that would/will kill it at the combine and could very easily raise their stock enough into the first round. Vanderbilt has an insane amount of potential and oozing with talent. Washington is just really really tough and has a great skillset. We'll see.

Being invited and going first round are not mutual.

Again how is Vanderbilt going to work out on a bad leg ?

You clearly aren't familiar with the draft combine if you think being invited means you're a potential first round guy lol.

 

[Slowwalker]

That is what I am wondering. I thought he had to have surgery. He didn’t play the last 2-3 games of the year. Is he all of a sudden healed and ready to go

 

[UkCat11]

I didn't say that. I said they are both players who could work themselves into the 1st round because of the combine. At least that's what I meant.

 

[UkCat11]

Again how is Vanderbilt going to work out on a bad leg ?

Not a question to ask me. You have to assume he's good to go if he got an invite.

Marcus Lee received an invite when he was at Kentucky.

Briscoe received an invite while at Kentucky

There are many reasons you’re not employed as a scout for an NBA team.

Looks like Gabriel might be on the list of alternates, which has yet to be published.

 

[UKGrad93]

Did Gabriel go to the combine last year?

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

So much incorrect information being put out surrounding the combine. Why? Why does Diallo come out and say they were all invited, when Gabriel wasn't?

 

[ulismyman]

Did Gabriel go to the combine last year?

No

 

[BlueSince92]

Why? Why does Diallo come out and say they were all invited, when Gabriel wasn't?

Probably a jealousy thing.

(You know, since Diallo's legendary vertical can't compare with Wenyen's legendary "vertical"...)

 

[Aike]

So much incorrect information being put out surrounding the combine. Why? Why does Diallo come out and say they were all invited, when Gabriel wasn't?

The only logical answer is that Diallo was sent from the future to alter the past.

 

[GParmesan]

prayers sent to Jesus (an auburn fan) that Austin Wiley has a bad combine and returns to AU to help terrorize the SEC next season

 

[Smashcat]

How was LiAngelo Ball not on the list??? Must be a misprint

 

[UK90]

Normally I'd think this means Gabriel returns, but I kinda get the impression that Wenyen may be determined to move on no matter what.

I wouldn't be shocked if he went the Briscoe/Humphries route, opting for an overseas salary over a return to college.

 

[fisherscatfan]

So I don’t follow the combine stuff, but if you are a sure fire lottery like Bagley etc., why would you go to the combine?

 

[Cindog28]

Brian Bowen. Wonder what kind of a paycut he took to play in the Combine?

 

[CatEye2010]

So much incorrect information being put out surrounding the combine. Why? Why does Diallo come out and say they were all invited, when Gabriel wasn't?

'Cause Diallo gets his info from this board.

To get measured and weighed and interview. Not to compete.
