Quotes from New 2014 PC Commit Kyron Cartwright

1 Comment

Here are some quotes so far from the newest member of PC’s incoming recruiting class:

From Josh Gershon’s story on Scout.com:

“I liked it; I liked the coaching staff and the players a lot.”

“They made a good impression on me right away.”

“I liked the campus. It’s not too big and not too small. The people there are really nice and it’s a good environment. They’ve very supportive.”

“They see me coming in during the summer and getting better,” he said. “I probably won’t play much at the beginning of the season but once I get used to it and gain experience I’ll be playing a lot more.”

“I think I bring a competitive nature, one they already have,” Cartwright said. “I’ll be really good in transition. I’m really happy”

BREAKING: 2014 PG Kyron Cartwright Commits to Providence #pcbb

2 Comments

Kyron Cartwright spent the weekend of March 28th-30th in Providence on an official visit and gave Ed Cooley his pledge after returning to the West Coast and thinking it over. Cartwright was granted his release from Loyola Marymount after head coach, Max Good was let go.

Cartwright is a 5’11 165 lb left handed lead guard from Compton, CA who will join the Friars 2014 recruiting class and add much needed depth to the point guard position. With the graduation of Bryce Cotton, the only point guard on the roster for 2014-2015 was going to be Kris Dunn coming off a 2nd surgery on his right shoulder so it was no surprise that Ed Cooley indicated they would be looking to add 2 guards for next season. Cartwright will not be eligible to sign a National Letter of Intent because he had previously signed one with Loyola Marymount. He will likely sign some kind of athletic aid agreement with Providence.

Recruiting Junkie Alert: 2015 Recruit C Trevor Manuel Playing At 12pm on ESPN

Leave a comment

2015 C Trevor Manuel and his Oak Hill Academy team will play for the DICK’s Sporting Goods HS National Championship today at 12pm at Madison Square Garden. Oak Hill will play Montverde Academy who beat Jalen Lindsey’s Huntington Prep squad last night in the semifinals.

Manuel is the 50th ranked player in the Class of 2015 according to ESPN and 54th ranked by Rivals.com. The Lansing, MI product has offers from Eastern Michigan, Michigan State, NC State, Providence and Wake Forest.

Here is his ESPN Scouting Report:

SCOUTING REPORT

ESPN Analyst
Updated 01/29/2014

Strengths:
Trevor is an extremely skilled and long forward who is more of a 4-man now but with definite small forward potential. He can handle it, pass it and shoot it. He has the ability to play the 3, 4 or 5 right now. He’s only going to get better.

Weaknesses:
Despite all the talent, Trevor tends to disappear at times during games. He needs to increase his motor and be more assertive and aggressive on the floor.

Bottom Line:
Overall Trevor has some of the most upside of anyone in the 2015 class. As he learns to take over games and get his motor going full time he will become special. He’ll have his pick of colleges.
