Building a Program: Providence Should Emulate Conference Leaders

11 Comments

The Big East currently has two teams sitting atop the league’s standings, two teams toiling away in the cellar and the other six teams beating each other to death in the middle. This has been the recipe each of the first three seasons of this configuration of the Big East. Villanova remains the most consistent. Jay Wright’s program has been among those two at the top all three seasons. The other program on high this season — Xavier — also appears to be in a position to stay there.

2015 Point Guard Announces Commitment

Leave a comment

Happy Birthday to Justin Robinson. Unfortunately for Friar fans it will be Buzz Williams and not Ed Cooley that gets Robinson’s talents for the next four years. This recruitment was played very close to the vest with Robinson and his family not giving much in terms of quotes other than the generic positive stuff about each of his final 4 schools.

At the end of the day Robinson decided to stay at home and play for the home state Hokies. While this miss hurts for Cooley and the Providence coaching staff, they have a solid class already for 2015 with Ryan Fazekas, Alex Owens and Drew Edwards already in the fold. It remains to be seen whether Cooley will go after another 2015 recruit or pocket the scholarship for a transfer or the loaded 2016 class.

With the announcement/birthday weekend upon us I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at the schools 2015 PG recruit Justin Robinson is considering for his final 4. When I began writing this article I planned on doing all four schools on the list but it has become increasingly clear that this will come down to a two horse race between Providence and Virginia Tech. Maryland apparently has pulled out of the race this week and is focusing on JUCO transfer Jaylen Brantley in 2015 while UNLV always seemed like the outsider of the final group.

Let’s jump right in….

With 2015 point guard recruit Justin Robinson‘s final official visit schedule for October 3rd and 4th to UNLV, I thought it would be good to get a gauge on where Friar fans stood in terms of their confidence level that Providence will ultimately get a commitment from Robinson on October 12th – his birthday. Vote in the poll and stay tuned for a post where I’ll detail the pros and cons of Robinson’s final 4 schools.
