Kevin Marfo Chooses George Washington
Kevin Marfo cut his list down to a final three before announcing his decision: Boston College, George Washington and Providence. He made his announcement on Twitter Friday and Marfo chose the George Washington Colonials of the Atlantic 10. Sources had told pcbb1917.com earlier in the week that Providence was no longer in consideration for the New Jersey native’s services.

A report by Friar recruiting insider Jeff Ferrucci surfaced over the weekend that Providence was out of consideration in the race to land Worcester Academy power forward Kevin Marfo. The report indicates that the recruitment is a two-horse race at this point between Boston College and George Washington. A source confirmed these reports to pcbb1917.com on Monday.

2016 Wing Jalen Johnson Enjoys Visit to Providence, Still Planning to Sign in November
As I chronicled heading into this past weekend, the Friar coaching staff is now on the clock for a massively important stretch — 30 days being my nice, neat headline from last week — that ends with their annual Late Night Madness festivities on October 17th. During that span they are scheduled to host a number of recruits in the class of 2016, including top target Wenyen Gabriel. The first visitor to step foot on Providence’s campus during this critical period was 2016 wing forward Jalen Johnson. Johnson is a North Carolina native who attends Wesleyan Christian Academy and ran with Team Wall on the adidas Gauntlet circuit this spring and summer.
