2015 Nike EYBL Session 3 Providence Recruiting Guide

Leave a comment

Nike EYBL continues with their 3rd session of the regular season on the way to the finals at the Peach Jam. There are a number of Providence recruits playing on the EYBL circuit this year again and even though the coaches won’t be allowed to attend this 3rd session in Houston there will be media members there covering the games and there’s a possibility for some games to be live streamed as well.

There are a few new names since the last recruiting guide and also some names that have fallen off the board with some recent commitments. One other note is Samuel Japhet-Mathias is making his EYBL debut this weekend after having to sit out the first two sessions due to NCAA rules regarding international players being in the USA for less than a year.

Here are the Providence targets in Houston this weekend and when they will be playing. Both the 17U and 16U are in Houston this weekend.

Providence Recruiting Guide to the 2nd April 2015 Live Evaluation Period

2 Comments

This is the second of two live evaluation periods in the month of April. A live evaluation period means college coaches are allowed to attend and evaluate recruits. As I did last spring and summer I’ll be providing a guide for fans to follow along and see where Providence’s targets are playing during a given live evaluation period.

I’ll also be doing my best to keep up with the map that tracks where Ed Cooley and his staff are during each live period and any recruiting period in between. This post will be updated as the weekend goes on and more information is known. It should be noted that the basketball team’s end of season banquet is on Saturday, April 25th. Cooley will be off the road for that and also the visit of Washington transfer Nigel Williams-Goss. I expect the assistant coaches will skip the banquet to be out recruiting during this critical live evaluation period.

UPDATE: You can watch live games of the EYBL circuit by clicking this link. The players numbers are next to their names below. Big thanks for Craig Leighton for sending the info about the live stream.

This will be the first of two live evaluation periods in the month of April. A live evaluation period means college coaches are allowed to attend and evaluate recruits. This will be the first time coaches can see players in their grassroots setting since July 2014. As I did last spring and summer I’ll be providing a guide for fans to follow along and see where Providence’s targets are playing during a given live evaluation period. I’ll also be doing my best to keep up with the map that tracks where Ed Cooley and his staff are during each live period and any recruiting period in between.

Providence Will Host 2015 Lorne Currie on Official Visit

2 Comments

UPDATE 4/9 1:57pm

It was originally reported on Wednesday that Providence was currently hosting 2015 guard Lorne Currie. It has been subsequently learned from Steve Hartnett of ScoutFriars.com that Currie has not officially visited Providence yet.

Providence will reportedly host a guard in the class of 2015 sometime in the near future. Lorne Currie is a 6’3 combo guard from Los Angeles and the original report was via Twitter on April 1st. Dinos Trigonis of the famed Pangos All-American camps tweeted the news:

The visit has apparently been re-scheduled since that tweet above but no date has been announced as of yet.

Currie apparently just got a good SAT score and has been cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse, per a subsequent tweet from Trigonis. Currie’s offer listed on the site VerbalCommits.com are from Fresno State, Loyola Marymount and Sam Houston State.

#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 11/7/14

1 Comment

On the 2015 front there may be another point guard target that the Friars can get involved with, Traci Carter. Carter tore his meniscus in the Spring and missed the AAU season while he recovered so his recruitment fell off a bit. Scout.com has him in their top 100 at 92nd and his 247sports composite national ranking is 139th. To compare that to another point guard Ed Cooley targeted in 2015 Justin Robinson is ranked 86th by Scout.com and 129th by 247sports composite national ranking.
