After a week’s worth of teasers from the Providence Athletics Twitter and Snapchat accounts the announcement has finally been made about who will be performing at the 2015 Late Night Madness festivities in Friartown: Ludacris. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, October 17th. Doors open at 6:30pm and the event is open to Providence College students only.

Big Sean performed last season in Alumni Hall with Jalen Rose — Friar legend Jimmy Walker’s son — serving as the master of ceremonies during the actual Late Night Madness portion of the evening. The year before the MC and performing duties were handled by Nick Cannon. Ed Cooley fully understands the value of Late Night Madness as a recruiting tool. Last year they had a number of talented recruits — many from the local prep schools and high schools — in attendance, along with freshman Ryan Fazekas who attended for the second straight year. Fazekas committed to Providence shortly after attending Late Night Madness in October 2013.

I’ll put together a list of recruits that will attend the 2015 Late Night Madness event as it approaches.
