Providence Recruiting Update: New Offer to 2016 PG, Another 2016 Guard Heading Elsewhere?
It’s been a little while since I did my last recruiting update post. Part of that is because things have been somewhat quiet on the recruiting front. There are a few new developments that should be noted as the calendar turns to September tomorrow. First is that Providence has extended an offer to another point guard in the class of 2016. More on that below. Second, and not necessarily unrelated to the first, is that it appears Shamorie Ponds may be slipping away from the Friars. Let’s get into each of these.

ESPN has now updated their Top 60 for the class of 2017 for the first time since expanding the list from a Top 25. There are a number of Providence targets littered throughout this Top 60 list and many of them play their high school and prep ball in New England. It will be interesting to see what players in the class of 2017 Providence becomes involved with because of new assistant coach Jeff Battle.
Providence recruits in the Top 60:

Recruiting News: ESPN Released Post-Summer Top 100 for Class of 2016
With the grassroots season coming to a conclusion at the end of July ESPN has released their updated class of 2016 recruit rankings and there are a number of Providence recruiting targets that are in this latest version of ESPN’s Top 100. It’s no surprise who one of the biggest risers in the rankings is with Wenyen Gabriel jumping 60 spots from 83 to 23. ESPN’s Reggie Rankin also spotlighted Friar recruit JJ Matthews a couple of weeks ago as a player that raised his stock enough to possibly break into the Top 100 after the spring and summer. He apparently was on the cusp but not in the Top 100. Matthews is scheduled to visit Providence on October 3rd, along with River City Reign teammate Maliek White. The Big East also has gotten a solid haul already from the ESPN Top 100 in 2016.
Here are some details from ESPN’s latest Class of 2016 Top 100:
