Providence Recruiting Update: Rivals Updated Their Class of 2017 Top 150

1 Comment

Nearly three weeks after ESPN and Scout updated their rankings for the Class of 2017, Rivals has now done the same, bringing all three of the major recruiting services up to date, post-summer grassroots season. Rivals released the updated rankings on Tuesday. Unlike ESPN and Scout, Rivals ranks a Top 150 instead of just a Top 100. Providence’s lone commitment in the class didn’t make either Top 100, but Dajour Dickens is in Rivals’ Top 150. The Big East has a total of 6 commits inside the Top 100 as compared to 4 on ESPN’s and 5 on Scout’s Top 100’s. There are also 3 players committed to Big East schools in the 101-150 range of Rivals’ rankings.

Here’s where Providence’s commit and recruits fit on both lists, along with some notable Big East commits and former Providence targets:

Providence Recruiting Update: ESPN, Scout Release Updated Class of 2017 Top 100’s

4 Comments

With summer winding down and players heading back to their high schools and prep schools ESPN and Scout have released updated versions of the Top 100’s for the Class of 2017. The rising seniors on these lists are still mostly uncommitted with 36 and 38 of the 100 committed on ESPN’s and Scout’s lists, respectively. The Big East has 4 commits in ESPN’s Top 100 and 5 in Scout’s. The two services differ largely on where Providence’s top big man recruit ranks, but they are in relative agreement about the Friar’s top guard recruit. Here’s where Providence recruits fit on both lists, along with some notable Big East commits and former Providence targets:

ESPN expanded their Class of 2017 rankings from 60 to 100 and Providence continues to be involved with highly-ranked players each recruiting cycle under Ed Cooley. The addition of Ivan Thomas has brought more Boo Williams players onto Providence’s target list but there are still plenty of recruits from the Northeast on the Friar coaching staff’s big board.

Providence Recruiting Guide to the First April 2016 Live Evaluation Period

Leave a comment

This weekend kicks off the real recruiting season for members of the class of 2017 and beyond because starting on April 15th a live evaluation period officially begins. A live evaluation period means college coaches are allowed to attend and evaluate recruits at certified events. This particular evaluation period lasts through April 17th with another full weekend of live evaluating on the schedule beginning on April 22nd. Nike and Under Armour will kick off their grassroots leagues in NYC, while adidas gets started in Dallas this weekend. There are also some other events going on this weekend that Providence recruits will be playing in.

As I traditionally do each 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. This post will be updated as the weekend goes on and more information is known. Continue reading Providence Recruiting Guide to the First April 2016 Live Evaluation Period →

Rivals has released an updated Top 150 for the Class of 2017 and Providence has plenty of recruits among the ranked, including newly committed big man Dajour Dickens. The Friars need to upgrade the talent on their roster and 2017 will be the best place to do it short of landing a big man in 2016 like Kalif Young, Darius Hicks or Cheickna Dembele.
