Providence at Villanova Game Status Update: GAME POSTPONED
UPDATE: 5:48pm on January 21st:
The game has officially been postponed to Sunday at 12:30pm. A tweet was sent out by the Fox Sports PR Twitter account confirming the rumor I heard earlier.
UPDATE: 5:15pm on January 21st:
Here’s where we stand as of 2:30pm on January 21st:
Right now there is no update on the status of the game beyond latest from both athletic departments earlier Thursday morning with each saying the game is going to be play as scheduled. Providence has cancelled their planned pre-game brunch. Since that time, the Pennsylvania Governor has declared a state of emergency ahead of the impending storm. It should be noted that Providence is traveling to Philadelphia Thursday and the referees for the game are scheduled to travel into town on Friday. Those are good signs for this game being played, even if the snow means fan turnout will be low.
Stay tuned to this post and my twitter account for updates as new information becomes available.

Recruiting Update: Big Man Search Goes North of the Border, ESPN Player Rankings Updated & More
Recruiting never stops and Providence continues to scowl the landscape for a big man to add to the class of 2016 that currently only includes point guard Maliek White. There are certainly some names that have become well-known to Providence fans over the last few months like Darius Hicks, Levi Cook, Isaiah Whaley and others. But some new ones also surfaced recently. A Friar coach was also spotted at a NEPSAC game on Wednesday. Shifting gears to future classes, ESPN released their updated player rankings for the classes of 2017 and 2018 and there are some notable Friar recruits scattered among the lists. The Friars also extended an offer to a player in the class of 2018 over the weekend after various Friar coaches attended the talent-heavy Hoophall Classic that took place at Springfield College from January 14th-18th.
