After releasing their updated Top 100 for the Class of 2017 on Wednesday, ESPN dropped their Top 60 for the Class of 2018 on Thursday. The Friars have already been recruiting the Class of 2018 in earnest with first direct contact for these rising juniors occurring on June 15th. With the current roster construction and scholarship situation, Ed Cooley and his staff have 5 open scholarships for the 2018-19 season. However that doesn’t account for the potential for Providence to add at least one more player to their 2017 recruiting class. Here are the Providence recruits that made ESPN’s Top 60 in the Class of 2018:

• #7 – Khavon Moore – SF – Westside HS/Macon, GA
• #10 – Naz Reid – PF – Roselle Catholic/Neptune, NJ
• #16 – Hameir Wright – SF – The Albany Academy/Albany, NY
• #21 – Keldon Johnson – SG – Huntington Prep/South Hill, VA
• #27 – Jalen Smith – PF – Mount St. Joseph/Baltimore, MD
• #45 – Kiyon Boyd – SG – Woodson/Washington DC
• #49 – Devon Dotson – PG – Providence Day/Charlotte, NC
• #56 – Isaiah Mucius – WF – St. James/Patchogue, NY
