Recruiting Update: Big Man Search Goes North of the Border, ESPN Player Rankings Updated & More
Recruiting never stops and Providence continues to scowl the landscape for a big man to add to the class of 2016 that currently only includes point guard Maliek White. There are certainly some names that have become well-known to Providence fans over the last few months like Darius Hicks, Levi Cook, Isaiah Whaley and others. But some new ones also surfaced recently. A Friar coach was also spotted at a NEPSAC game on Wednesday. Shifting gears to future classes, ESPN released their updated player rankings for the classes of 2017 and 2018 and there are some notable Friar recruits scattered among the lists. The Friars also extended an offer to a player in the class of 2018 over the weekend after various Friar coaches attended the talent-heavy Hoophall Classic that took place at Springfield College from January 14th-18th.

Fourteen schools will play nine total games from noon on Saturday to 4:30pm Sunday and a handful of Friar recruits are playing in those games.

Providence Recruiting Update: New Offer in 2016, Visitor Coming to Friartown
It’s been awhile since I last put out a recruiting update post, but that doesn’t mean Ed Cooley and his staff haven’t been on the trail searching for players for 2016 and beyond. In fact, Cooley was on the recruiting trail on Wednesday as he traveled North to Brewster Academy for 2016 forwards Alpha Diallo and Taurean Thompson. Cooley and his staff have also kept an eye South and have arranged an official visit with 2016 big man Isaiah Whaley. Associate head coach Andre LaFleur was down on Long Island on Sunday to take in action at the Shooting Stars Showcase event held at Long Island Lutheran.

Providence Recruiting Update: White Signing Wednesday, Bennett’s Favorite
The early signing period for college basketball begins on Wednesday, November 11th and lasts until November 18th. Players have that 7 day window to lock in their pledges and bind their commitments to their schools. Providence currently has 1 player committed in the class of 2016: Maliek White. He is going to sign his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday with dual ceremonies happening at his school — George Wythe — and the facility of his grassroots team — River City Reign. There should be some photos and quotes from that out tomorrow.
