Ed Cooley and the Friar coaching staff have been trying to reel in a point guard for the last few recruiting cycles. Kyron Cartwright is the only true point guard currently on the roster with Drew Edwards and Tyree Chambers being thought of as more combo guards. Cooley was able to add to that group on Sunday with the addition of Richmond, VA native Maliek White. White visited Providence over the weekend after canceling his trip to Cincinnati.

2016 PG Maliek White Down to Four
The recruiting buzz continues to pick up around the Providence program as they are in the midst of stretch hosting visitors. It started last weekend with 2016 wing Jalen Johnson and the Friar staff played double duty this weekend by hosting two recruits. Power forward Kevin Marfo‘s visit was scheduled for this weekend all along, but hosting point guard Maliek White wasn’t supposed to happen until next weekend. The Richmond, VA native decided to cancel his visit to Cincinnati and move up his trip to Friartown, a source familiar with the recruitment told pcbb1917.com on Friday. On Saturday White’s list was cut to a final four, according to the Twitter account of his grassroots program.

2016 PF Kevin Marfo Cuts List to Final 5
Providence was among 10 teams to make 2016 PF Kevin Marfo‘s cut down list in mid-August. Marfo’s plan was to entertain all 10 of those schools and for each of them to present their case to the New Jersey native during visits to his school. The first day that could happen was September 9th when the recruiting period began and schools trekked to Worcester Academy to try to convince the powerful big man to buy their recruiting pitch. Marfo decided to cut his list down even further on Tuesday night to a final 5.
