#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 8/15/14
The July live evaluation periods have come and gone and a lot of recruits have cut their lists down to more manageable figures. Some recruits have even already given commitments. Providence obviously got some good news last weekend after their Elite Camp on Saturday with two verbal commitments. The first was from a member of the class of 2017 (rising sophomores) in Javon Taylor. Taylor seems to have a good basketball pedigree and isn’t done growing.
The second commitment came from a member of the class of 2015. Alex Owens gave Ed Cooley his pledge after newly minted associate head coach Bob Simon worked tirelessly as the lead recruiter with Owens. Adding Owens to Ryan Fazekas has vaulted the national class ranking for the Friars to 19th according to the 247Sports Composite Team Ranking. CoxHub had the guys at New England Recruiting Report give a writeup on Alex Owens. It’s an interesting read. Owens is playing for USA South in the Nike Global Challenge in Chicago. His team won their first game against Pan Africa in overtime on Thursday but fell in game two against China Friday morning. Game three is Friday night at 9pm against USA East.

#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 7/3/14
With Friday being the 4th of July I am releasing the weekly recruiting update a day earlier than normal. This weekly update will return to it’s normally scheduled Friday next week. This will be the final recruiting update prior to the first July live period which begins at 5pm on July 9th. For more information on the recruiting calendar over the next few weeks, check out this page.
News came down Wednesday afternoon that Josh Fortune was transferring to Colorado. This ends one of the more bizarre and confusing player transfers I’ve ever seen and I doubt the real reasons will ever be truly made public. Whatever the reasons, it seems Fortune was looking for a fresh start and he will get that at Colorado which is much further from his home than Providence, for what that’s worth.
Fortune leaving has left a bit of a hole at the shooting guard position. After the various swings and misses this spring, Ed Cooley and his staff are apparently on the fence about bringing someone in at this late stage. I’m told that Armel Potter is anxious to have the PC coaches watch him play live which is something that hasn’t happened as of yet. Potter is mulling over possibly playing somewhere during the July live periods but no decision has been made on that. I was told that Potter hasn’t spoken with Cooley yet but I get the sense that if Cooley calls with an offer, Potter will be on the next plane to Friartown. The former Florida Atlantic commit has offers from Appalachian State, Ball State, Iona, Niagara, Tennessee Tech and some other mid majors.
