2015 Guard Drew Edwards Commits to Providence

3 Comments

2015 guard Drew Edwards has committed to Providence, per Edgar Walker. This kind of caught me by surprise as I heard earlier in the week that Edwards was in the process of scheduling visits in September. Having said that, my gut was that Edwards and another DMV guard, Justin Robinson, were the top two guard targets left on Ed Cooley’s big board. Edwards was also considering Clemson, Dayton, Kansas State, Providence, Richmond and USC.

Drew Edwards is a talented scorer who stayed loyal to his AAU team Maryland 3D. Instead of jumping to a Nike, Adidas or Under Armour team, Edwards stuck with the unaffiliated program and the coaches he had been coaches by since the 4th grade. Edwards will play the shooting guard spot in college but has the ability to handle the ball if necessary as he ran point guard during his AAU season. He will likely not come into Providence and play 30+ minutes per game next season but once he gets his feet wet he will be a nice weapon for Ed Cooley and the Friars.

  • PC received some good recruiting news minutes after the final buzzer sounded in Dallas on the 2013-2014 season Monday night – Kyron Cartwright announced he was going to be a Friar next season. His commitment adds more depth to the point guard position for PC next season. Kris Dunn was the only point guard on the roster and coming off a second shoulder surgery it was crucial for Ed Cooley to have some insurance.

  • More interesting recruiting news came about on Tuesday this week when coveted 2014 point guard Devonte’ Graham announced on Twitter that he got a release from his National Letter of Intent to App State by new coach, Jim Fox. Graham is now officially one of the best available players left on the board in 2014 after having a break out year under Jason Smith at Brewster Academy. A number of high majors are involved and have already spoken to Graham since his release. Thursday night had Cooley joined by Nebraska’s Tim Miles and Virginia’s Tony Bennett at Brewster for a workout. Friday it will be Kansas’ Bill Self along with coaches from Cincinnati, Florida and Virginia Tech. Graham would be a great fit at PC because of his shooting and playmaking abilities but the competition is obviously stiff. Ed Cooley and Providence has a legit chance with Graham and will likely be one of the teams on his final list before deciding.
