Rivals has released an updated Top 150 for the Class of 2017 and Providence has plenty of recruits among the ranked, including newly committed big man Dajour Dickens. The Friars need to upgrade the talent on their roster and 2017 will be the best place to do it short of landing a big man in 2016 like Kalif Young, Darius Hicks or Cheickna Dembele.

Scout released their update top 100 for the class of 2017 on Wednesday. Providence is still working hard in 2016, but they are also continuing to form relationships with 2017 players and those players will be looking to make their mark during the spring and summer grassroots periods. There are some new names in the top 100 and some that fell out. All in all, Providence is involved with a lot of talented and highly ranked players in the class of 2017.

The Big Strick Classic is a basketball-junkie’s dream that takes place each summer after the live periods of July have come and gone. Players from all across the country will travel to NYC to take on the best that NYC has to offer. The 2015 version of the tournament — named in honor of the late NYC streetball legend John “Big Strick” Strickland — is the 5th annual and features a number of Providence recruits, as well as many top national recruits in the classes of 2016, 2017 and a few from 2018.

The final live evaluation period of the summer is upon us and most of the attention turns to Las Vegas as many of Providence’s targets will be lacing it up in Sin City over the next few days. There is also a big AAU National tournament in Louisville taking place and some events happening in New Jersey. The Rivals — read: Wenyen Gabriel — are in Vegas at the adidas Uprising Championships so I would expect Ed Cooley will be all over them at that event.

With the 1st live period in the books and Nike and Adidas hosting their big league finals it’s time for Under Armour to take center stage on the shoe company grassroots circuit. The UA Association Finals this weekend in Atlanta will host a number of top Providence targets and you can be sure the Friar staff will be in attendance.
There are also some camps and other tournaments happening all across the country and many players are playing in more than 1 event during this 2nd live period. Ed Cooley shadowed Wenyen Gabriel and the Mass Rivals team during the 1st live period and there is no indication that will change. Jeff Battle will be down in his hometown of Winston-Salem for the CP3 Live event hosted by Phenom Hoops Report. Andre LaFleur is likely going to take in action in Maryland at the Ty Lawson/Victor Oladipo All-American Camp while hopping around to other events. I expect to see Brian Blaney in Brookville, NY for the Adidas Uprising All-American camp while doing some event-hopping himself.
