This past weekend marked the kickoff for all three shoe-sponsored leagues and Providence had coaches at all of three of those events, while also monitoring some events that aren’t run by the sneaker companies. I was between the Nike EYBL session in Brooklyn and the Under Armour Association in lower Manhattan. Joining me going between these events all weekend was Associate Head Coach Andre LaFleur. Brian Blaney was in Dallas for the adidas Gauntlet series’ opening event, while Jeff Battle was spotted in Staten Island at the Elevate Hoops event. Ed Cooley wasn’t on the road this weekend as he was back on campus hosting a pair of transfer targets. More on that later.
Providence continues to recruit for next season and will be hosting a duo of big men on campus this weekend. Jon Rothstein reported that Wake Forest graduate transfer Andre Washington and junior college forward Emmitt Holt will visit the Providence campus over the weekend. Last week, 2016 big man Kalif Young‘s coach reportedthat the Canadian would take an official visit to Providence this weekend. Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journaltweeted out on Wednesday that Young isn’t expected to campus until May. The Friars also got a visit from 2016 wing guard Alpha Diallo last weekend as well as Michigan State transfer Marvin Clark. Clark would have to sit out next season but then would have two years of eligibility remaining. Akil Douglas, another junior college forward, visited Providence on March 29th.
