Providence Recruits Attending NBPA Top 100 Camp

1 Comment

The NBPA Top 100 Camp is one of the better camps of the spring and summer. The competition level is intense and the talent level is always impressive.

There are a number of Providence targets in attendance between the classes of 2016 and 2017. Here’s a list of all targets and the team they are playing on this week. Follow the camp on Twitter at the hashtag #NBPATop100

Providence Recruiting Update: Class of 2017 Phones Ringing

1 Comment

June 15th at 12:00am marks the first time that coaches can directly contact members of the class of 2017 — rising high school juniors. Ed Cooley is in Colorado Springs for the USA Basketball U19 training camp but he and his staff still managed to work the phones and reach out to a number of prospects. The Friars have a commitment in the class of 2017 already with Javon Taylor verbally pledging to Cooley at Providence’s elite camp in August of 2014. With Taylor on the books Providence currently has 2 open scholarships for the class of 2017 that number is likely to change with the transfer epidemic that is happening around college basketball.

Let’s take a look at some of the new and notable names that heard from the Friars on June 15th.

After expanding the class of 2016 top 60 to a top 100 on Tuesday, ESPN expanded their class of 2017 top 25 to a top 60 on Wednesday. The debut of the class of 2018 top 25 is scheduled to be released on Thursday.

Providence currently has 2 open scholarships to use in the class of 2017, barring a commitment from a big man prior to the start of next season. It is also highly likely that Kris Dunn’s scholarship will open up after this season as he is almost guaranteed to leave for the NBA. Let’s take a look at where some of Providence’s 2016 targets fell on ESPN’s Top 100:

Providence Recruiting Guide to the 2nd April 2015 Live Evaluation Period

2 Comments

This is the second of two live evaluation periods in the month of April. A live evaluation period means college coaches are allowed to attend and evaluate recruits. As I did last spring and summer I’ll be providing a guide for fans to follow along and see where Providence’s targets are playing during a given live evaluation period.

I’ll also be doing my best to keep up with the map that tracks where Ed Cooley and his staff are during each live period and any recruiting period in between. This post will be updated as the weekend goes on and more information is known. It should be noted that the basketball team’s end of season banquet is on Saturday, April 25th. Cooley will be off the road for that and also the visit of Washington transfer Nigel Williams-Goss. I expect the assistant coaches will skip the banquet to be out recruiting during this critical live evaluation period.

UPDATE: You can watch live games of the EYBL circuit by clicking this link. The players numbers are next to their names below. Big thanks for Craig Leighton for sending the info about the live stream.
