2016 Wenyen Gabriel Cuts List to 5
Wenyen Gabriel may have been the largest stock-riser in the class of 2016 this grassroots season. The 6’9 combo forward possesses an offer list that reads like a who’s who of college basketball elite. Then there is Providence and Ed Cooley. Cooley has been on Gabriel the longest of any high major school. Providence became Gabriel’s first high major offer back in July 2014. Gabriel’s only other offer at that time was from in-state New Hampshire. On Wednesday Gabriel cut his list down to a final 5 schools. That list is comprised of Duke, Kentucky, Maryland, Providence and UConn, according to a tweet from Adam Finkelstein.

Providence Recruiting Update: Providence Hosts Elite Camp, Makes Pair of List Cuts
Providence hosted their annual Elite Camp on August 8th on the school’s campus and this was the first year I attended. A while back when I decided that I would keep that Saturday open so I could attend the camp this year I had ideas in my head of seeing some of Providence’s star recruits in person. That didn’t exactly come to fruition as there were other competing events — namely the Big Strick Classic in NYC — that thinned out the field for the 2015 version of camp. Still, there was a lot to see and some new names that popped up onto my radar. Other recent recruiting news is that the Friars made the top 5 for JJ Matthews and the top 6 for Quentin Jackson. Both players cut down their lists on Monday. More on Elite Camp and these two recruits below.

Providence to Host Annual Elite Camp August 8th
The 2014 Providence Elite Camp effectively produced 2 commitments for Ed Cooley last year. The first one was a verbal commitment from 2017 guard Javon Taylor. Taylor gave Cooley his commitment before leaving campus that Saturday. The other came a couple days later in the form of 2015 big man Alex Owens. Unfortunately, Owens failed to receive a qualifying ACT score this summer and has enrolled at Tallahassee Community College. Cooley is hoping the 2015 version of Elite Camp will lead to more commitments, especially from the talented crop of New England prep school talent that will be in attendance. Unfortunately some of the top talent from the area like Wenyen Gabriel and Makai Ashton-Langford — both players that attended last year’s camp — will be in NYC playing in the Big Strick Classic on Saturday and can’t attend.
