Ricky Council made his commitment to Providence official on Wednesday by signing his National Letter of Intent. Council joins a 4-player class coming into Friartown in the Fall of 2015. “Ricky will be a great addition to our program,” Ed Cooley said. “Ricky is the type of player who can help our team from the perimeter as he is an elite shooter. He really matured and got stronger over the last year.”
