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. Marfo has taken official visits to Boston College, Providence and George Washington while also including DePaul and Rhode Island in his final 5.

2016 Guard Shamorie Ponds to Stay Home at St. John’s

4 Comments

Decision day is here for Shamorie Ponds as the 2016 guard from Brooklyn held a press conference at his high school this afternoon to announce his college commitment. As expected Ponds announced he would be staying home to attend St. John’s. Ponds becomes Chris Mullin’s first top-50 recruit. Possibly more important than that is the fact that he is the first top NYC recruit Mullin has convinced to stay home and play for the hometown Red Storm. Mullin is hoping to convince Rawle Alkins to do the same. Ponds visited Creighton, St. John’s and Providence before deciding to commit. His commitment gives the Big East their 6th 4-star recruit to go along with 1 5-star pledge in the class of 2016 and he is the second highest ranked prospect committed to a Big East program so far for 2016 behind Villanova pledge Omari Spellman, according to 247sports.com.

2016 Big Man Sedee Keita to Visit Providence for Late Night Madness

2 Comments

Providence landed their point guard in the class of 2016 that they had been searching for when Maliek White pledged to Ed Cooley and the Friars during his official visit over the weekend. Next on the agenda for Cooley and his staff is to address the needs in the frontcourt. Enter Sedee Keita. While Wenyen Gabriel is still a priority for Providence it’s Keita who is the only true big man with the size to be a real rim protector. Kevin Marfo took an official visit last weekend with White and would certainly bolster the Friar frontcourt in 2016-17 but he’s a few inches shorter than Keita and is seen as more of a pure power forward.

Providence Grabs Point Guard in 2016

3 Comments

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.
