Providence Recruiting Update: In-Home Visits & Visits to Friartown

1 Comment

I hope everyone had a lovely Labor Day Weekend and people are ready for the fall to begin. Something that will begin this week is a recruiting period. That means — starting on September 9th — coaches can visit players at their homes and schools. That hasn’t been able to occur since April 22nd. The Providence coaching staff will be very busy on September 9th as they have plans to visit a lot of recruits, either at their homes or at their schools. There are also two more Friar targets that will get attention on and off campus from the Providence coaching staff. More on all of that below.

2016 Wenyen Gabriel Cuts List to 5

4 Comments

Wenyen Gabriel may have been the largest stock-riser in the class of 2016 this grassroots season. The 6’9 combo forward possesses an offer list that reads like a who’s who of college basketball elite. Then there is Providence and Ed Cooley. Cooley has been on Gabriel the longest of any high major school. Providence became Gabriel’s first high major offer back in July 2014. Gabriel’s only other offer at that time was from in-state New Hampshire. On Wednesday Gabriel cut his list down to a final 5 schools. That list is comprised of Duke, Kentucky, Maryland, Providence and UConn, according to a tweet from Adam Finkelstein.

Providence 2015 Frontcourt Target Commits to Boston College

2 Comments

After beefing up the frontcourt with the commitment of 6’8 250 pound Quadree Smith, Ed Cooley has missed out on adding length to that frontcourt as 2015 Sound Doctrine Christian Academy big man JC Reyes committed to Boston College on Thursday, per ESPN’s Jeff Borzello. Reyes visited Providence on June 11th and 12th after tripping to Boston College. He was also considering Penn State and South Florida. Cooley and the Friars still have an open scholarship for 2015 but the available options are increasingly more slim.

Kris Dunn Officially Announces Return to Providence

2 Comments

Well it was a tense few days for Providence fans between the initial report from Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski on Wednesday and an official announcement from Kris Dunn but the good news Friar fans were hoping for has now become a done deal. Dunn will officially return to Friartown for at least one more season. While it is unlikely that Dunn would remain at Providence beyond the 2015-16 season he does technically have eligibility through the 2016-17 season due to his medical redshirt being granted.
