Wenyen Gabriel finished just shy of a triple-double last night at the Prep Classic in Rhode Island last night – that’s a good way to impress your future coach.
John Calipari was watching last night when the 6-foot-10 forward racked up 17 points, 14 rebounds and nine blocks during the game.
It’s nothing new for the highly-touted AAU player, who committed to UK earlier in the fall over Duke, in his team’s season-opener Gabriel had 21 points, 11 rebounds and three blocked shots despite losing to opponent Canaria 59-56.
Gabriel said earlier in the year that Cal’s talk of positionless basketball is one of the reasons the stand-out chose Kentucky.
