Recruiting News: Rivals Releases Updated Class Of 2017 Top 150 Recruit Rankings

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.

Providence Recruits in the Top 150:

I didn’t think they could “top” their 30% shooting performance from the first matchup between these teams, but they managed to prove me wrong and shoot a whopping 28% in this game. I’ve never seen a team miss so many wide open shots in my entire life. I don’t know how it can be fixed, but Ed Cooley needs to start figuring it out.

Providence Officially Lands Commitment from 2017 Big Man

Providence got some good news on the recruiting front after another loss on the court when 2017 Dajour Dickens officially committed to Ed Cooley and the Friars. The news comes directly from Dickens himself this time after a false start report last Friday. Dickens is a Virginia native and stands at 6’11. He visited Providence for the Georgetown game on February 13th and evidently liked what he saw. Dickens is enrolled at Bethel High School and runs with famed grassroots program Boo Williams.
