Once again causing issues, this time on Cal's personal Instagram. Dude has issues.
Wenyen Gabriel
- Thread starter MbergCat
- Start date
Ignore him and hopefully he’ll go away. Bad thing about Twitter/Instagram even the dumbest person will get the attention they need.
For those of us who don't know what Instagram is, what did he do?
Snapface, Chatgram and Instabook are the downfall of society.

instagram is 99% single moms getting offended
Said Rupp was a racist
Said he didn't enjoy playing for Cal
Said he doesn't need UK fan support
Complained that Cal didn't wish him happy birthday earlier this year
Etc.
hadn’t heard Cal didn’t wish him happy birthday. Jeez, Cal is absolute scumbag. I’ll do it for you
happy 23rd birthday Wenyen big guy. Next year is the big 1-2
F’ing childish man
He's a total POS for blaming his lack of ability on a guy who gave him every opportunity in the world to get his family out of a tent in The Sudan.
Has quickly shot to the top of my least favorite former players list.
Couldnt play a lick of defense. Was lazy and that wont fly at UK.
Enjoy playing in Siberia donkey.

I don’t understand what more Wenyen wanted from Cal. Wenyen has the prototype build for an NBA stretch 4, and that’s the skill set Cal let him develop while at UK. Cal gave him the green light to shoot 3s his sophomore year, and he showed that he could execute. This is the double edged sword that is Cal’s recruiting. He gets guys that see themselves being in the league ASAP. He basically is telling them if you come to college and put the work in like a professional there’s no better place that will equip you for the league.
The other side of that is Cal lands guys who are delusional about their chances, and they leave early or transfer. Now I know we’re not in their facilities watching practices day in and day out so we can’t say for sure, but I’d bet most of us are willing to bet the guys who are transferring or leaving before they should usually aren’t the hardest workers. I’m sure a couple guys were exceptions, but when you look at the track record of guys who’ve done this, it hasn’t translated to league success. It makes me wonder if Wenyen thought Cal was going to wave a magic wand and have him in the lottery. Dude you played in 85 games, started 30 and averaged 20mpg and you stood out in maybe 2 or 3 games. At some point it’s on you to show you’re a transcendent talent. Wenyen was given opportunities.
And to be totally fair I don’t want to make assumptions about his work ethic at UK, because if we’re all being honest I don’t think many of us thought he’d be in an NBA uniform in 2020. He had to go the hard way to make a roster and he did it, so it seems like he’s working hard. I don’t want to disparage him. And you know what? I’m willing to bet when Gabriel hits free agency and GMs call Cal, he’ll support Wenyen. Cal won’t have his feelings hurt. I bet we get a sound bite from him this season along the lines of “some guys come here and don’t like the way I coach them, but I’m not here to coddle players, you guys are adults now. If you come here I’m going to *coach* you.” Best of luck to Wenyen, but I feel like he’ll soon learn a lesson about burning bridges.

Hell hole Sudan.
But he’s got issues with Rupp.
We should probably be investigated for admissions standards.
He’s easily my least favorite UK player of all time.
Some have said Orton, **** Orton says now that he should have stayed at UK and regrets what he did. Orton is A ok in my book, he didn’t take out his issues on the man trying to help him.
Be absolutely ****** publicly about your issues with Cal/UK. Surprised pikachu when Cal doesn’t want anything to do with you. Nice Wenyen, nice.
right. And Orton’s gripes were all grounded in reality. He was a Billy G guy. Cal convinced him to stay AND brought in Cousins. He had a knee issue from high school with no right answer. Sure he burned his bridges, but then he owned up to it. Orton is peanuts compared to this whack job.
Wenyen is bored and decided he needed to be Cal’s Karen
Typical of most of nba...bunch of rich overgrown children still whining!
Orton also had a kid and got drafted first round. I don’t blame him for making that decision, and I don’t think anyone does. What pissed Cal off was that Orton didn’t finish his spring classes. He’s made it clear since then that that’s part of the deal.
And I think orton and Cal have since made amends.
as I fan I was never mad at orton. He had been through a lot over those two years. He had also lost his mother to cancer during that time. I just felt bad for him.
As far as how they were treated while at UK Wenyen didn’t get the same kind of bashing that Goodwin, Briscoe, Diallo, and Hagans got from this fanbase . Maybe he should have .
100% bet dude tracks rafters and responded to ppl saying he needed to grow up in the last thread...even the Rupp is a racist bs shows he’s in touch e ehat we are talking about rn. And showed he needed to grow up again.
Hes a child
Yes. And Orton has since apologized and learned a lot from the experience. He has regrets he’s working through. I believe his mother had just died also, so if Orton was the least favorite he’s been surpassed here by miles.
Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world, according to Un Development report 2000. Most of the population live under hard conditions. One of the Sahel countries, Sudan is located in the Sahara desert. Hard climate conditions and political instability were always responsible for the poor life conditions.
Hell hagans is even commenting on his posts...not about the stuff...but him commenting in and of itself means hes on board with gabriel...cant stand him either.
What type of logic is that ? You do know that plenty of UK guys probably comment on his post right ? You must can’t stand PJ Washington and De’Aaron Fox either then.
A grown man didn’t wish another grown man happy birthday. Wenyen Gabriel sounds like a complete wimp.
Life Lesson that my position forced me to learn to live by:
Wenyen is a matter of Mind over Matter.
If I don't "Mind" him, then he doesn't "Matter"
Wenyen is a matter of Mind over Matter.
If I don't "Mind" him, then he doesn't "Matter"
I don’t give well wishes to people who stab me in the back either.
Good lord, to think you owe nothing to someone who put 2 years of hard work into you, but then think he still owes YOU something is just perfectly representative of this candyass entitled society today.

Also a somewhat suspect shooter that shot the ball WAY too much. Literally within seconds of getting the ball, he’d shoot and brick it. We wasted a ton of possessions because of that crap.
Anyone else find it odd that the Calipari kids arent commenting on this? They comment on everything else.
