Building a Program: Providence Should Emulate Conference Leaders

11 Comments

After beefing up the frontcourt with the commitment of 6’8 250 pound Quadree Smith, Ed Cooley has missed out on adding length to that frontcourt as 2015 Sound Doctrine Christian Academy big man JC Reyes committed to Boston College on Thursday, per ESPN’s Jeff Borzello. Reyes visited Providence on June 11th and 12th after tripping to Boston College.
