Kevin McNamara sent a tweetearlier this week in which he said Providence was “trying to line up others” to visit campus this weekend in addition to Brewster Academy wing Alpha Diallo. It appears one of the “others” Ed Cooley and his staff were working on getting to campus was Michigan State transfer Marvin Clark, Jr. Adam Zagoria reported that Clark will visit Providence beginning Thursday with the visit concluding on Saturday. The team’s banquet will be held on Saturday night.
After giving an update on Drew Edwards of Calvert Hall and Ryan Fazekas of Marquette Catholic next up is an update on the final member of Providence’s committed class of 2015, Alex Owens. Owens plays for coach Alex Jackson at Oak Ridge High School in Orlando, FL making him the recruit who will have to travel the furthest to attend Providence college in this class at over 1,200 miles. Fazekas isn’t too far off with over 900 miles between Michigan City, IN and Providence, RI though. He also plays for Each 1 Teach 1 on the Nike EYBL circuit.
Last season Oak Ridge went 19-10 and lost to eventual State Champion, Winter Park, in the Region 8A-2 semifinals. The Pioneers are off to a 10-2 start to this season and coach Jackson called Owens “a key contributor” to the team’s early season success.
