Providence Recruits to Play in 2015 adidas Nations Camp in California

1 Comment

Providence recruits will take part in the 2015 adidas Nations Camp this weekend. The camp will be held in Long Beach, CA from July 31st-August 3rd and is broken up into teams by country/continent/region. There are 4 USA teams and players range from the classes of 2016 to 2018. There are also college players who work the camp as counselors and URI’s Hassan Martin has been selected to be one of them. EC Matthews of URI attended last year and was invited back this year but declined so he can focus on healing after having hand surgery in the offseason. Seton Hall guard Isaiah Whitehead will also attend this year as a counselor. Kris Dunn attended this camp back in the summer of 2011 while still an uncommitted recruit. Coaches are not allowed to attend this camp as we are currently in a recruiting dead period on July 31st and then a recruiting quiet period beginning on August 1st.

Here are the Providence recruits who are at the camp this weekend:
