Providence Recruiting Guide to the 1st July 2015 Live Evaluation Period
The July live evaluation periods are a critical time of year for recruits and college coaches. There are 3 sessions during the month for the players to impress and the coaches to evaluate and show interest. This first one is a big also because it will culminate the Nike EYBL season at the Peach Jam with the finals being held on July 12th at 3pm. ESPNU will televise the Nike EYBL Peach Jam finals again this year. They will have both semifinal games as well as the final game. This is a great chance for fans to see some of the top high school players in the nation and hopefully a Friar recruit or two will be involved in the action.
Under Armour also has action during this live period with their inaugural UA All-America Camp being held in Charlotte from July 7th through July 10th. They will have 80 of the best players from the UAA circuit in attendance.
Adidas is also hosting an event this live period with a similar event to the EYBL’s Peach Jam. The Adidas version is the finale of their Adidas Uprising Gauntlet circuit featuring the top 32 teams from that circuit this Spring. There are also a number of other camps and tournaments ongoing during this live period.

Alex Owens Fails to Qualify, Will Enroll at Tallahassee CC

Owens had an academic red flag when he wasn’t qualified to play basketball as a freshman in high school but the Providence coaching staff remained optimistic Owens could get the score he needed. Bob Simon was the lead recruiter on Owens prior to leaving Providence for Alabama.
