Gabriel, from Manchester, New Hampshire, had been a Providence target, visiting with the Friars a couple times in his home. Providence, Duke, Maryland, Kentucky, and UConn were Gabriel's final five.

The Friars technically have no open scholarships right now for next season, but that doesn't take into account the likely departure of Kris Dunn.

Below are Gabriel's summer highlights.
