Gabe needs to be wished success in his future endeavors by the coaching staff. Could very well be a great kid it just didn't work out here. A complete swing and a miss.

Everyone knows it's possible the student web manager of ohiobobcats.com just made a mistake in omitting him right?

Not LIKELY but definitely possible. They aren't infallible.

I say this only because we have zero confirmation that he's either left the team or entered the portal from anyone, anywhere.

For all we know he's either still with the team, or just quit basketball to be John Q. Student. Or dropped out and is now driving trucks. All are still possible at this point.

I sincerely apologize for starting this thread. It has definitely generated a lot more heat than light.

Why?

You asked a legitimate question. Is The Whiz coming back or is The Whiz not coming back? Pretty simple question that once again nobody associated with this program on the media side will ever ask.

Well, maybe I overstated my feelings here, but it seems that a number of recent posts have been more of the "pissing contest" variety than ones that actually added to our mutual fund of knowledge on the subject at hand.

Nobody will probably read this, and any who will probably will boo, but I just want to go on record as saying I like The Wiz. He frustrated me as well he did anyone else sometimes, but he gave good effort and played his best ball at the very end of his tenure (should it be over).

I don’t wanna say how I know but Gabe is gone he’s going to play overseas. This is 100% true they just haven’t announced it yet.

That would explain why he's neither on the roster nor in the portal.

If true, good for him! Go make some $$ big fella.

This propels Wiz into legendary status IMO. The fact he's going to make a lot of money playing basketball somewhere is jaw dropping to those who watched his career closely.

I don't remember who posted the theory of Israeli pro ball and his heritage being lucrative, but that sure seems to square with reports he is going overseas. I don't see how he could have secured a Pro Euro spot otherwise.

Very curious what "a lot of money" is in this context. There's no way he's playing in the Euroleague, and once you get past the best few leagues in Europe the salaries get pretty meager.

Don't get me wrong -- making enough to get by and getting to live in Europe is great either way -- but I don't think it's a get rich kind of thing.

But according to so many here, The Whiz is going to get rich in Europe. And if The Whiz can continue playing this great game and get a paycheck....more power to him and congratulations.

I can’t wait to see the contract numbers.

A nation waits.

Only a matter of time before EDoz....Ellis Dozier inks that big Euro deal as well.

Laugh all you want but he's going to make infinity more playing basketball than you ever did.

And don't act like a 7'0 guy, even with limitations, is on par with Joe Random 6'5 guy. They aren't.

I hope he enjoys his time overseas for as long as he wishes to play or stay.

Laughing? Goodness….I’m so happy for The Whiz that he’s leaving Athens and getting his “reported” big Euro deal. Again, congrats to The Whiz.

As for my hoop skills, I once set a pick, rolled to the basket, took a low pass and scored a basket over Gary Trent in the Convo. So you can’t question my skills when it comes to setting a legal screen without moving my feet, catching the ball, and making a lay-up over Ohio’s greatest player of all-time. That one play alone should get me a Euro deal.

Why would you think I’m unhappy with life? I am really good in that department. I am actually thrilled how this off-season is going. The Whiz is turning pro and is going to make it rain with cash and we have a heck of a guard coming in. Now if Boals can lock up another portal 6-8+ guy I will be ecstatic.

Life is good fellas.

PS And the Trent story is true.
