Wenyen Gabriel Criticizes John Calipari on Instagram

Former Kentucky forward Wenyen Gabriel is apparently in the middle of a riff with John Calipari and the UK basketball program after he sent damaging comments to recruit Jaden McDaniels.

Today, Calipari sent birthday wishes to Bam Adebayo on Instagram.

Gabriel went on the offensive in the comments section:




“Damn where was my [birthday] wish in March?”

Gabriel then added more comments directed at UK fans:

“He first heard of the screenshot from me, they contacted me to ask if it was real and I immediately texted Cal months before any of y’all found out about it,” he said. “I tried to apologize but got no response. So here we are.”

I didn’t like playing for him in college,” Gabriel said in another comment. “Then he cut me off after the Jaden situation, so now it is what it is.”

“Before I came to Kentucky, I was a top 15 recruit. When I left I went undrafted…”
