2016 Wenyen Gabriel Commits to Kentucky
Wenyen Gabriel has announced his decision and the fast-rising forward from New Hampshire committed to John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats. Gabriel was down to a final 5 of Connecticut, Duke, Kentucky, Maryland and Providence and had taken visits to Maryland and Kentucky before shutting down his recruitment and announcing his commitment on ESPN’s Recruiting Nation with Adam Finkelstein. Gabriel — who attends Wilbraham and Monson Academy and ran with the Mass Rivals on the adidas Gauntlet series — was a top target for Ed Cooley and the Providence staff but, as was the case with the class of 2015’s top Friar recruiting target Donovan Mitchell, Gabriel blew-up in the spring and summer to rise all the way to the top 20 in the class of 2016 rankings, according to 247sports.com’s composite national rankings.

2016 PF Kevin Marfo Cuts List to Final 5
Providence was among 10 teams to make 2016 PF Kevin Marfo‘s cut down list in mid-August. Marfo’s plan was to entertain all 10 of those schools and for each of them to present their case to the New Jersey native during visits to his school. The first day that could happen was September 9th when the recruiting period began and schools trekked to Worcester Academy to try to convince the powerful big man to buy their recruiting pitch. Marfo decided to cut his list down even further on Tuesday night to a final 5.
