Kansas University basketball recruiting.

Wenyen Gabriel, a 6-foot-9 senior forward from Wilbraham and Monson in Massachusetts who is ranked No. 84 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, on Wednesday cut Kansas University from his list of prospective schools. He tells ESPN he has a final five of Kentucky, Duke, Maryland, UConn and Providence.

Twin wants trade

Former KU forward Markieff Morris, who is displeased the Phoenix Suns traded his brother, Marcus to Detroit, is now demanding to be traded.

“One thing is for sure, I am not going to be there,” Markieff Morris told his hometown Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday. “If you want to put that out there, you can put that out. I don’t give a (bleep). I am not going to be there at all. That’s just what it is.”

Markieff Morris last September signed a four-year, $32 million contract extension that begins this season. Marcus signed a four-year, $20 million extension.

“I’ve got to show up. No question,” said Markieff, who will be fined if he skips any part of training camp. “You can’t do that. I will be a professional. Don’t get me wrong. But it won’t get that far. … I’m going to be out before then, should be,” he added to the Inquirer.

The twins recently pleaded not guilty to two counts of felony aggravated assault in an incident last January.

The Inquirer says “the Morrises’ defense attorneys asked a Maricopa County Superior Court judge to return the case to a grand jury because they said prosecutors falsely presented information that led to an indictment. The state has until Aug. 21 to respond to the motion.”

“They can tell you anything about the case and all of that. Nah, it has nothing to do with that,” Markieff said. “That’s just all disrespect and all unprofessional. They called us unprofessional. That’s what that is, unprofessional. No one is trying to hear that.”

Lottery pick

KU freshman Cheick Diallo will be selected No. 14 in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft, ESPN’s Jeff Goodman predicted Wednesday. Ten of Goodman’s lottery picks (first 14) are freshmen.

“He’s still awaiting NCAA clearance, but Diallo can be a Ben Wallace type of player due to his tenacity, rebounding ability and toughness. The big question is his skill level,” Goodman writes of Diallo.
