Wenyen Gabriel at it again

My 12 yr old son loves that game, and talks about it all the time...and says it just the way you posted it.
I probably won’t tell him about this... ni need to ruin a memory
Bill seems to be some old man that wants to show how important he is by pumping his chest on this board.
Done deal
But really, if you did like me, that's when I'd have to take a good look at myself.

Just dropped by to say BostonCat2001 is one of the worst posters here, and where are all the guys giving me hell for Shitting on WG last week ? I never liked the guy when he was here , he had no passion and low BB IQ and wasnt a dedicated player ... but I got slammed 2 weeks ago for stating that.
I see the same moronic posters are doubling down. Haha.
mmmhhhhhmmm smell that? it smells like mid season rafters in here
Thank you for writing this. Being in the SEC was a detriment to Coach Rupp trying to integrate UK basketball.
It's like family. I can say something about my family but you can't. IMO, gabriel has lost his family privileges and no longer invited to Thanksgiving dinner. No loss for us.
Yup. And that’s okay - there are plenty of guys who aren’t good enough to cut it in the best league on the planet. But there aren’t as many who are publicly and frequently blaming it on their college coach years down the road like Wenyen.
I'm not going to waste my time bashing Wenyen as a player. But anytime you blame a coach on your own short-comings not a good look.
I hope future recruits can look past the bs... which the proof is in the pudding already. But you never know with this new generation of kids.

Also players and coaches frown on the very stuff gabriel is spewing....he has no honor, keep that stuff in house. That's exact why Cal "cut him off" and rightfully so. Hes trying to create unwanted drama. For a player who us veryyyy lucky to even be in the league I'd say this type junk will cut his NBA days even shorter
And honestly I'd love to see one of Cals former players call Gabriel out
I doubt Cal would be in favor of that. A) he's has more class than that, and B) he probably doesn't want anymore drama associated with this WG crap.
He’s mad Cal cut him off after Wenyen stabbed him in the back? What did you expect?
you realize this is social media, right?
Yeah, and he expected a Happy Birthday message from Cal after he told a recruit to go elsewhere.
He had terrible handles and was probably too lazy to work on that. Cal probably pushed him to and he didn't like that. A lot of kids are very immature and stubborn at that age. Maybe he will be different at some point.
He’s a whiner that didn’t impress. He should move on and I absolutely don’t blame Cal for cutting him off after pushing a recruit away. Seems to be a clear cut case of he doesn’t like Kentucky. Why should Kentucky or Cal like him? Easy decision.
3 pages on a guy doesn't deserve any. Quit acting butt hurt over a mediocre player with a grudge. It's what fuels the fire.
Maybe but it would have really taken a lot of hard work for sure. He was too weak to play the post in the NBA and he doesn't have the handles to play on the perimeter. I believe the thought because he could hit an outside shot or 2 that he was the next KD but in reality he was a lot shorter poor mans version of Manute Bol.
People aren't acting. Dude is a salty d-bag blaming Cal over his own shortcomings and now actively trying to affect Cal's recruiting. Call me butt hurt, but this dude can go kick rocks for all I care. I'm an idiot on a message board. He's the butthurt one on Twitter to the world.
Wenyen is obviously one of many high school players who obtain lofty ratings from high school recruiting services but who don’t immediately equal the same level of success in college playing against older more talented players that they competed against at the high school level. Wenyen never impressed me as an immediate impact player. He appeared to have a lot of raw athletic ability. He could have made himself a much better player had he stayed around long enough to improve but when arrived at UK he was certainly no one and done talent.
Still don't feel bad for posting those texts. Cal cut Wenyen off after that. Wenyen says so many things that contradict its hard to know what he really thinks. At the end of the day he's just bitter/upset/mad that he never became a main contributor here to get drafted 1st rd. Wenyen was a top 15 recruit in his own eyes he's a star. He feels like he should've been a focal point to those UK teams and that steering JM to Washington helped him go 1st rd and make millions. Of course thats a load of crap, JM was going 1st rd no matter where he went and could've potentially gone higher at UK instead of a 20 loss Washington team. If Wenyen wanted to be a main contributor on his UK teams he should've put in the work on his game and body to be able to do so, thats on him. Cal can't hide you here. Wenyen also insinuated that he should've gone to Duke which I find funny bc K would've talked him into 4 years and he would've still went undrafted. Good riddance WG come back when you mature a little
This seems to be in direct response to Gabriel's comments. Cal brought out the big guns for this one!!
Nah, I'd rather listen to one underachieving salty cupcake over everyone else. WG can't go away soon enough.
What's unfortunate, is that this video HAD to be made. Recruiting can come down to the smallest advantages, and you simply can't have a past player spouting off nonsense about his bad experience.
I think the best thing UK fans can do is complement Wenyen for his play while at UK and his work ethic to make it in the NBA and not repay negativity for negativity.
Sure reinforce misguided, immature, selfish, nasty behavior. He started it and made his bed. No thanks.
At this point.. with WG doubling down several times on several occasions, I'd like to see the program and Cal completely cut ties. It is clear he didn't like his time here and we can't have him messaging more recruits. Make the statement now that "While we respect WG's opinion, we whole-heatedly disagree, and at this time, WG's comments do not reflect the staff or the universities"
My motivation is less negativity around the UK program. It's harder for Wenyen to reply with negativity when he doesn't receive it back.
Well, I'd rather the program and fans just completely ignore him instead of complementing him as you suggest.
