All 3 Providence Commits in 2015 Class Nominated to 2015 McDonald’s All American Game
Nominations were announced for the 2015 McDonald’s All American game that will be played in Chicago at the United Center on April 1, 2015. While over 450 boys across the country were nominated there will only be 24 players selected to play in the actual game. That selection will take place on ESPNU on January 28th at 6pm ET.
Drew Edwards, Ryan Fazekas and Alex Owens were all nominated which means Providence’s entire 2015 class got a nomination. It’s unlikely that any of the three will make the final roster of 24 but it’s still a nice accomplishment. One other note is that Edwards’ twin sister Danielle was also nominated. Danielle Edwards is ranked 69th nationally in the class of 2015 by ESPN and she is signed to play at Clemson this fall.
Providence College to Honor 1994 Big East Championship Team
Per a release from the athletic department on Friday Providence College will honor the 1994 Big East Championship team during the Friars’ January 10th Big East tilt against the Georgetown Hoyas. That game is set to tip off at 12pm at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center.
Prior to the 2013-14 Providence Friars the 1993-94 team was the only other basketball team in school history to win a Big East Tournament Championship. No word on if any of the members of that team will be present but my guess is there will be some players represented. Some of the key players on that championship squad were Michael Smith, Dickey Simpkins, Eric Williams and Rob Phelps. The head coach was current Texas head coach Rick Barnes.
