How Are The Recruits Playing? Ryan Fazekas
Coming off a championship season Ryan Fazekas returned to Marquette Catholic for his senior season after Brewster Academy coach Jason Smith reached out to try and scoop up the 6’8 wing forward from Michigan City, IN a few games into his junior season.
Marquette Catholic head coach Donovan Garletts is happy he did as the Blazers went on to win the Indiana High School Athletic Association State Finals in their first ever appearance. Fazekas scored 34 points in the overtime win including 7/11 from beyond the arc which broke a Class A State Finals record of 6 made 3-pointers. The State Championship rings will be given out before Friday’s home opener against Hanover Central.
Ryan Fazekas Officially Signs Letter of Intent for Providence College
During a ceremony at his school at 1:40pm ET Ryan Fazekas signed his National Letter of Intent to attend Providence College. Fazekas, who had a Big East Championship hat on the table while he signed, was Ed Cooley’s first recruit in the class of 2015. The 6’8 wing shooter should be able to slide right into a role as a shooter on the 2015-16 Friar squad.
Fazekas also had offers from Dartmouth, Northwestern and Valparaiso before pledging to Providence on October 29, 2013 following a trip to Providence for Late Night Madness.
As I reported last week the other two commitments in the class of 2015, Drew Edwards and Alex Owens, were expected to have sent their signed letters of intent last week.

Let’s introduce you to Donovan; an amazing 14 year old boy who is battling Lafora disease. Lafora disease, also known as “Lafora Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy” (MELF) is a fatal recessive genetic disorder. In layman’s terms… Lafora disease is a severe, and extremely rare form of epilepsy.
Here is a photo of Donovan and the big man #33; on the court after the PC Friars won the 2014 Tournament at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
