[Question] Why does Whis not have an interest in training Gohan?

[Sage of Doujutsu]

I just reread the top arc of the manga and some of the more recent chapters and this has been bugging me. Why isn't Whis interested in training Gohan? He's done away with relying on transformations(something emphasized in Goku and Vegeta's training under Whis) and has already shown to be on par with ssb power(when he fought Kefla to a draw in his base). Also (pre-broly) Vegeta recognized that Gohan has the potential to be stronger than anyone on the Universe 7 TOP team. Whats more is Whis comes to earth enough to atleast ask Gohan if he'd like to try training under him, now that Gohan has shown to be back on the horse so to speak in terms of his training. Why do you guys and gals think this might be?

Whis doesn't actively recruit trainees.

true but he did show interest in having Goku become the god of destruction after his first fight with Beerus. I just think with how promising Gohan has shown to be through out super it could have atleast got Whis' attention.

Whis doesn't want Goku and Vegeta to be irrelevant. Look at how much stronger Gohan was than both Goku and Vegeta in the cell games. A well trained, well motivated Gohan is always far stronger than them

plot's the only real answer i can see, but maybe whis knows gohan wouldn't devote as much to training as goku and vegeta would. imo, it looks like gohan treats training like going to a gym. a few hours every day or every other day. with goku and vegeta, it's something they do constantly and devote entire days to before returning home.
