Providence Recruiting Guide to the 1st April 2015 Live Evaluation Period
This will be the first of two live evaluation periods in the month of April. A live evaluation period means college coaches are allowed to attend and evaluate recruits. This will be the first time coaches can see players in their grassroots setting since July 2014. As I did last spring and summer I’ll be providing a guide for fans to follow along and see where Providence’s targets are playing during a given live evaluation period. I’ll also be doing my best to keep up with the map that tracks where Ed Cooley and his staff are during each live period and any recruiting period in between. This post will be updated as the weekend goes on and more information is known. Continue reading Providence Recruiting Guide to the 1st April 2015 Live Evaluation Period
LaDontae Henton Leads Team to Victory in First Portsmouth Invitational Game
LaDontae Henton scored 18 points to lead all scorers en route to his team winning their first game of the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament in Portsmouth, VA.
Henton shook off some of his shooting issues that plagued him in the Dayton game and the Reese’s College All Star game and shot 6/12 from the field and 5/5 from the free throw line. Henton also pulled down 6 rebounds in his 27 minutes of action.
Henton’s next game will be Friday at 7pm and that will be the semifinals against Cherry Bakaert.
