Malik Beasley Cuts List to 8
Malik Beasley announced via his Twitter account that he has cut his list to a top 8.

Beasley had a very good spring and summer at camps and on the AAU circuit where he ran with the Georgia Stars. He’s described as “a long athletic true shooting guard” by ESPN’s Scouting Report. The Georgia native is ranked 48th overall in the nation in the class of 2015 by the 247Sports Composite rankings and has visited UCLA, Georgia and Georgia Tech unofficially so far with plans to visit St. John’s unofficially over the weekend while he is in town for the Big Strick Classic at the Gauchos Gym. Beasley is also high school teammates with PC recruits Kaiser Gates (2015) and Kobi Simmons (2016).
I’m not all that surprised to see Providence not make the cut. The Friars will hopefully get some good news over the weekend with big man Alex Owens in town for the Elite Camp Saturday. Owens has Providence in his top 3.

This weekend is the Pangos All American Camp in California which has featured some big names over the years including two current PC players – Kris Dunn and Jalen Lindsey. As of yesterday’s posting of the weekly recruiting update I didn’t have the roster for this invitation only camp but it came out late last night. Here are the Providence recruits who are there this weekend:
Class of 2015
- Justin Jenifer – 5’10 PG – Milford Mill Academy (Baltimore, MD)
- Isaiah Briscoe – 6’3 SG – Roselle Catholic (Roselle, NJ)

#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 5/16/14
Another weekend of competition where coaches cannot observe but that hasn’t stopped them from offering a lot of players. You’ll see below the guys that PC has offered lately. Nike EYBL continues action for the 2nd weekend in a row with Session #3 in Hampton, VA on route to the Peach Jam in mid-July. The Adidas Gauntlet picks up where it left off in the April live period with session #2 in Indianapolis this weekend. PC is heavily involved with many elite players that are playing in both the Nike EYBL and the Adidas Gauntlet. Those two AAU circuits are widely considered to be the two best in terms of talent and organization. Here are all of the events this weekend courtesy of CBS Sports’ Jeff Borzello:
May 16-18
- UA Invitational (Houston)
- Adidas Gauntlet #2 (Indianapolis)
- Double Pump Spring Classic (Las Vegas)
- H-Town Classic (Humble, Tx.)
- Las Vegas Grand Opening (Las Vegas)
- NY2LA Invitational (Milwaukee)
- Great Lakes Classic (Dearborn, Mich.)
May 17-18
- Nike EYBL Session #3 (Hampton, Va.)
- Other big news from last weekend is that the Friars never got Larry Austin on campus due to a death in his family. He then committed to Chris Mack and Xavier on Saturday so that’s another 2014 guard off the Friars Big Board.
