Providence has been actively pursuing big men since Paschal Chukwu announced he was transferring out of Friartown for a change of scenery. That news broke a little over 30 days ago. The Friar staff has done a lot in those 30-plus days, including adding veteran assistant Jeff Battle to replace the vacant spot left by Bob Simon’s departure to Alabama. They also added some beef to the frontcourt in 2015 big man Quadree Smith who committed to Ed Cooley and the Friars about 2 weeks ago. There was a recent miss in the class of 2015, news on the transfer wire, new offers being handed out and new interest being expressed.

Providence Bolsters Frontcourt with Commitment from 2015 Quadree Smith
The Providence front court certainly has gotten bigger, even if it isn’t much taller. 6’8 250 pound Quadree Smith visited Friartown over the weekend and gave a commitment to Ed Cooley on Wednesday. The commitment was delayed while the Friar compliance staff combed through Smith’s transcript, per a source with knowledge of the situation. Originally a member of the class of 2014, Smith did a post graduate year at IMG Academy in Florida this past year after graduating from his local public school, Potomac.
