2026 Gabe Weis Becoming A Coveted Prospect

September 11, 2023 by Travis Graf

2026 wing Gabe Weis is starting to become a hot name on the recruiting trail. The 6'7" forward out of Springfield (KY) has been gaining traction with both his ranking as well as his offers and interests. Weis is still raw offensively, but he's made strides and is progressing in the right direction. The defensive end is where Weis stands out mostly at this time, wreaking havoc with his length and athleticism to go along with a strong IQ and good timing. He spoke with MADE Hoops about his recruitment, his game, and upcoming plans.

Schools Involved: "I have been offered by Tennessee Tech, Ohio University, Lindenwood, College of Charleston, Illinois, LSU, and Cincinnati. I have also heard from Ohio State, Indiana, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Xavier.

Tennessee Tech: "They have a very good coach and should be a high major college in a few years."

Ohio and Lindenwood: "I don't know much about them at this time."

College of Charleston: "They have made the tournament the past couple of years and are definitely growing."

Illinois: "They're a very good program, but I still don’t know much about it."

LSU: "I love the place. They have great facilities and a great atmosphere to go along with a great coaching staff."

Cincinnati: "In my opinion they get looked at not nearly as much as they should. They just made a huge move going to the Big 12 and will be really good in a few years."

Indiana: "They're also a good program and I love the warmups."

Kentucky: "I love how close it is to home. Coach Cal gets kids to the NBA and it could be a good fit."

Vanderbilt: "They preach student athlete. I love how I will have a job before I leave there."

Xavier: "Don’t know a whole lot about them, but it seems like their fan base is good."

Dream School Growing Up: "Kentucky always was, now I have no clue.

What He's Looking For In A Program: "A good coach that gets good recruits and somewhere that will get me to the next level."

How To Build A Name In A Small Town: "Coach Maze (Stallworth) knows a lot of people, and Coach Drew (Mitchell) also knows a lot of people. There are a lot of plugs between those two."

What He's Working On: "Ball handling and my 3 ball for sure. They have both came a long way, though."

Visit Plans: "I have Ohio State on October 7th, Indiana on October 20th, and possibly Kentucky and Xavier."
