The second July live evaluation period has arrived and the Providence coaching staff will be out and about stalking down talented future Friars all across the country over the next few days.

This particular evaluation period begins on July 13th at 5pm and is active through 5pm on July 17th. The big event this week will be Under Armour’s UAA Finals being held in Cartersville, GA.

Providence Recruiting Guide to the First July 2016 Live Evaluation Period
The first July live evaluation period has arrived and the Providence coaching staff will be out and about stalking down talented future Friars all across the country over the next few days. A live evaluation period means college coaches are allowed to attend and evaluate recruits at certified events. This particular evaluation period begins on July 6th at 5pm and is active through 5pm on July 10th. Nike has their EYBL Peach Jam, which is their playoffs and adidas finishes off their Gaunlet series. Under Armour’s finale event is later in July so they will be hosting their All-America Camp this week in Charlotte.

Providence Recruiting Update: Class of 2018 Phones Ringing

Providence Recruiting Update: Friar Recruits at the 2016 NBPA Top 100 Camp
Providence recruiting has picked up the last few months and the Friar staff had the best Spring recruiting period in Ed Cooley’s time in Friartown. Coaches Battle, Blaney, Cooley and Thomas have turned their attention to the classes of 2017 and 2018 with about 3 weeks to go until the first of the critical July live periods. Another interesting deadline that will be here in just over 12 hours is midnight on June 15th. The clock turning to 12:00 means coaches can begin to contact recruits in the Class of 2018 directly via phone. This is traditionally thought to be a telling time as coaches give hints as to who they are prioritizing in that class. I’ll have a report on who Providence calls later in the week. For now, there is another annual event in June that is drawing some Providence targets to Charlottesville, VA: NBPA Top 100 Camp.
