All 3 Providence Commits in 2015 Class Nominated to 2015 McDonald’s All American Game

1 Comment

Nominations were announced for the 2015 McDonald’s All American game that will be played in Chicago at the United Center on April 1, 2015. While over 450 boys across the country were nominated there will only be 24 players selected to play in the actual game. That selection will take place on ESPNU on January 28th at 6pm ET.

Drew Edwards, Ryan Fazekas and Alex Owens were all nominated which means Providence’s entire 2015 class got a nomination. It’s unlikely that any of the three will make the final roster of 24 but it’s still a nice accomplishment. One other note is that Edwards’ twin sister Danielle was also nominated. Danielle Edwards is ranked 69th nationally in the class of 2015 by ESPN and she is signed to play at Clemson this fall.

I have previously written about Kobie Eubanks back in late November after Providence coaches took in his impressive 37 point performance at the National Prep Showcase in New Haven on the Friday before the Friars played in the Hall of Fame Tipoff at Mohegan Sun. Eubanks is doing a postgrad year at Elev8 Sports Institute in Florida following his failure to qualify at Baylor as a member of the class of 2014.

On Monday he informed Scout.com that he cut his list of schools down to 10 and Providence made the cut for the 121st ranked player according to 247sports’ composite national rankings. Scout.com is the service that ranks him the highest at 53rd nationally.
