#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 9/19/14

2 Comments

After the last couple of weeks being pretty quiet after the commitment of 2015 guard Drew Edwards this upcoming weekend is a big one in Friartown. Not only will Edwards be taking his official visit to Providence this weekend but he will be joined by the first player to commit to Ed Cooley in the class of 2015, Ryan Fazekas. But the most important visitor this weekend and a player that Edwards and Fazekas will try to help recruit is 2015 point guard recruit Justin Robinson. This will be Robinson’s 3rd official visit with the first two being at local schools Virginia Tech and Maryland. Robinson plans to take his other two visits after this weekend in Providence but Ed Cooley and the Friar Faithful are hoping that Robinson will give Cooley a commitment before returning home on Sunday.

Providence Roster Review & Outlook

2 Comments

It seems the 2014-15 roster is now complete with the addition of German guard Tyree Chambers* so I’ll take an in-depth look at the roster and how it’s shaping up both in the short term and the long term.

If you want to see the current scholarship situation for each season through 2018-2019 there is a dropdown menu at the top of the menu bar above. You can also click this link. 

Technically the 2014-15 roster has one open scholarship remaining and maybe Ed Cooley will look to add a mid-year transfer for next season to balance the classes (more on that later) but I believe this will be the group that the Friars will go to battle with this upcoming season. Let’s look at the roster by position group:

The last week has been pretty quiet on the Providence recruiting front. We haven’t heard about any other players scheduling visits to PC but there have been some Friar recruits who have given their pledges elsewhere. None are earth shattering and some didn’t ever get an official offer from Ed Cooley but commitments are happening fast and furious all over college basketball. Providence currently has 2 open scholarships for the 2015 class with an eye on point guard Justin Robinson to fill one and possibly bank the other to save for a transfer or Spring addition.

Robinson is on his second of five scheduled official visits this weekend. His first visit during Labor Day weekend was to Buzz Williams and Virginia Tech while visit two is taking place at Maryland. Visits 3 through 5 are scheduled thus: Providence 9/19-9/21, Creighton 9/27-9/28 and UNLV 10/3-10/4. I think some people are discounting UNLV and Creighton because Robinson has played his recruitment fairly close to the vest.

#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 9/5/14

Labor Day weekend figured to be quiet with students moving into their dorms on the PC campus but some unexpected news hit that Friday with the apparent addition of German guard Tyree Chambers to the roster for the 2014-15 season.

Chambers visited Providence back in May and an offer was extended about 3 weeks ago. The connection appears to have been fostered by Associate Head Coach Andre LaFleur which is similar to the Kyron Cartwright recruitment. Chambers is at Providence and enrolled in classes but has not yet been given the go ahead by the NCAA Clearinghouse though he told Jeff Ferrucci of ScoutFriars.com “the clearance shouldn’t be a problem because I never signed a contract. I was just a youth player traveling with the team.” There is a highlight video (below) that shows highlights of Chambers playing in the NBBL which he describes as “the highest level for basketball under the age of 19.”
