Steve Hartnett of ScoutFriars.com tweeted that Providence is hosting 2016 center Khalea Turner on an unofficial visit. Ed Cooley is still looking to bring in frontcourt size for next season and Friar fans can now add Turner’s name to a list that includes Canadian big man Kalif Young. Turner’s recruitment has been slow, which can be explained largely by the fact that he was waiting for clearance from the NCAA Clearinghouse. Turner got clearance on April 19th, according to his Twitter account.
The second live evaluation period is in the rear view mirror and despite being short-handed on the recruiting trail this weekend the Friar staff managed to hand out some new offers to members of the classes of 2016 and 2017. Providence offered local New England prep players Hasahn French (Commonwealth Academy) and Samuel Japhet-Mathias (Vermont Academy), according to tweets from their high school and AAU coaches. Another offer that went out on Monday was to Oak Hill Academy big man Joe Hampton. Hampton tweeted about the offer Monday night. The other offers that were announced Tuesday were 2016 point guard Tony Carr and 2016 power forward Sedee Keita. Wednesday saw another offer to a member of the PSA Cardinals grassroots team with their Twitter account announcing that Providence was among a few schools to offer 2017 big man Mohammed Bamba.
There will be a full recap of the Friar recruits covered in the 2nd live period’s recruiting guide later in the week but for now let’s take a closer look at these recruits who received scholarship offers this week.
2015 point guard Justin Robinson announced via Twitter that he has set dates for all 5 of his official visits. His first visit will be to Virginia Tech August 29th-31st. He will then take a visit to Maryland September 12th-14th followed by Providence the next weekend, September 19th-21st. His final two visits will be in October with a trip to UNLV October 3rd-4th and Creighton October 17th-19th.
