So this means he's going even if he doesn't have a 1st rd guarantee or he's staying if he does?

Either:

1. He does not give a crap where he is projected and already has 1 foot out the door.

2. He may opt to stay even if projected in the first round.

3. His decision will not be announced next week.


Back to square one I suppose.

If we lose a guy to the nba or overseas that averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds that's mind boggling

It's already happened. Orton averaged 3 and 3 and went in the first round.

And what did Dakari average his sophomore year?

Found it. 6.4 and 4.6. But at least he was likely to be drafted.

I will say if I were a Gm id be more intrigued by Wenyen than Dakari. Dakari was a 7 footer that played below the rim and got stuffed at the basket repeatedly his sophomore year and was a huge liability on defense because he lacked the lateral quickness to defend pick n roll.

Wenyen doesn't have the same physical limitations and has a skill that is at a major premium in the league and always will be.

I think Wenyen stays. Don’t have a source. Didn’t give an Uber ride to anyone. I just feel like he stays.

Now P.J. is another story. I think he really wants to go but won’t pull the trigger without a guarantee during the combine.

Orton received 1st Round Guaranteed money... genius.

Dakari is in the league.

Yeah, I'd guess he's probably gone. Montgomery plays the same position / role, so whether Cal thinks Wenyen is history, or Cal is telling Wenyen it's time to go, seems to lead to the sample place.

Dakari was a Gleague 1st team player FWIW

Montgomery and Wenyen are no where near the same role

Matt Jones needs to stop reporting ****. His "wrong" rate is WAY too high.

And the rest of y'all need to stop reading too much into this. Wenyen's tweet doesn't mean he's leaving..or staying. My guess is he's still undecided. Instead, its' only purpose is to let us know that Matt Jones' tweet is ********.

We know what WG can and can't do.. We need him.. He'll get stronger in the off season and come back a Junior 6'9 stretch 4 that can drain the 3. The man holds the record for most 3's made in a row in a single game. He can be a huge asset to the 2018-19 Cats..

I think Gabriel leaves. Not because Cal is adding players. Not because he is wondering about his role on the roster. He leaves because of the financial situation his family is in. I still think it’s best for him to play at UK one more year and I also don’t think he will be in a position to earn that much next year. But I’m not gonna to argue with a man who wants to support his family.

Would like to see him back as well. But after seeing Quinn Cook get a 2-year contract offer from the Warriors, I think Wenyen has a shot of sticking someday. But yeah, he's gonna have to grind.

I still want to know where these rumors came from about his family being bad off came from.

Well, from a brief glimpse at his wiki page, I'd guess it probably has something to do with this:

"Two weeks after he was born, Gabriel's mother, Rebecca Gak, moved with him and his three siblings to Cairo, Egypt to escape the violence of the Second Sudanese Civil War. While Gabriel's mother worked to earn enough money to move his father, Makuac, to Cairo, his seven-year-old brother, Komot, became Gabriel's primary care giver. Two years after moving to Egypt, the United Nations granted an appeal to move the refugee family to Manchester, New Hampshire, an American city with a large Sudanese population."

Pardon us for presuming that a family that arrived in the US as war refugees from one of the world's very poorest places probably isn't swimming in cash.

Jerry Tipton is the one who reported it.

But I've also heard that most have graduated college since they moved here and I would imagine they have found jobs.

So you’re basing something very intimate about one of our 20 year old players and casting a stereotypical net based a Wikipedia page ... lol got it man.

I genuinely think he could secure 1st round if he came back another year. But again, what do i know ?
