2016 PF Kevin Marfo Cuts List to Final 5

Providence was among 10 teams to make 2016 PF Kevin Marfo‘s cut down list in mid-August. Marfo’s plan was to entertain all 10 of those schools and for each of them to present their case to the New Jersey native during visits to his school.

Providence Recruiting Update: Friars Out for Jackson, Will Visit Marfo

August in recruiting means players are cutting and narrowing their lists and schools are trying to  make their pitches to get those players onto their campuses for official visits. The Friars have been in that rhythm over these last few weeks, both making and missing list cuts. The next step is to get players that included Providence on their lists to campus. So far there are two recruits that have scheduled visits to Friartown — a guard in Shamorie Ponds and a power forward in JJ Matthews. Ponds is also visiting St. John’s and Minnesota after already visiting Creighton. Matthews is visiting Towson and Murray State before his trip to Providence in early October.
