Cox Sports: Friars and Tar Heels NCAA Tournament Post Game Press Conference
Recruiting Update: Former LMU Commit, 2014 PG Kyron Cartwright, to Visit Providence This Weekend
Last week I had posted about 2014 PG Kyron Cartwright who got his full release from Loyola Marymout University after the firing of Coach Max Good. For more information on that and to see the ESPN scouting report of Cartwright, click here.
The Friars and Ed Cooley have at least 2 open scholarships for the 2014-2015 season with the likelihood being that they will have 3 with Brice Kofane graduating in May and using his 5th year of eligibility elsewhere. The thought process is that PC will use 2 of those 3 potential available scholarships on guards. Don’t be surprised if Cartwright gives his pledge to Cooley this weekend while on campus.

It has been a lot of fun creating and running the blog in the last 2 months. In those two months I’ve met a bunch of new Friar friends and really enjoyed the community that is PC basketball fans. I’m proud to say that the site has nearly 18,000 views all time and has averaged about 300 views per day. I will continue to keep the site updated and will be posted daily as much as possible with Links of the Day and Recruiting Notes and hopefully some interviews and opinion articles.
Here are some of what I’m planning for the next couple weeks:
- a “looking back” post to review the 2013-2014 season
- a “looking ahead” post to see what Friar fans can look forward to in 2014-2015 and beyond
- A review of the first season of the new Big East
- Recruiting updates with updates on incoming PC players in 2014 as well as checking in with 2015 commit Ryan Fazekas.
- APR for dummies
Feel free to reach out in the comments section here, on Facebook, Twitter or email. It’s officially the offseason but there’s still a lot to talk about so I hope you stay tuned!
Go Friars!
