Rivals released their updated class of 2015 top 150 rankings today. The number of recruits PC is still involved with is dwindling from this top 150 list. Having said that, guys like Justin Robinson and Drew Edwards are extremely underrated to not be in the top 150 for Rivals. Shawntrez Davis said in early August that he wanted to visit Providence but Alex Owens committed since then so I’m not sure if the Friars are still recruiting Davis.
Scout.com updated their class of 2015 rankings Thursday. This is the first look at how where each player’s stock is at after the July live evaluation periods. Recent PC commit Alex Owens is not among the top 100 after falling out from #96 during the previous update but (get ready for that knife in your back to be twisted) Donovan Mitchell went from unranked to #20. One other note is that 42% of the top 100 is already committed.
Simmons, at 6-foot-4, is a true combination guard that can fill the role as scorer or distributor. He’s very quick and is a high-level athlete. Much like Smith, Simmons is tough to stop in transition. He’s an improved mid-range scorer and has good vision.
