Providence Hands Out New Offers After Second Live Period

The second live evaluation period is in the rear view mirror and despite being short-handed on the recruiting trail this weekend the Friar staff managed to hand out some new offers to members of the classes of 2016 and 2017. Providence offered local New England prep players Hasahn French (Commonwealth Academy) and Samuel Japhet-Mathias (Vermont Academy), according to tweets from their high school and AAU coaches. Another offer that went out on Monday was to Oak Hill Academy big man Joe Hampton. Hampton tweeted about the offer Monday night. The other offers that were announced Tuesday were 2016 point guard Tony Carr and 2016 power forward Sedee Keita. Wednesday saw another offer to a member of the PSA Cardinals grassroots team with their Twitter account announcing that Providence was among a few schools to offer 2017 big man Mohammed Bamba.

There will be a full recap of the Friar recruits covered in the 2nd live period’s recruiting guide later in the week but for now let’s take a closer look at these recruits who received scholarship offers this week.

Recruiting Junkie Alert: 2015 Recruit C Trevor Manuel Playing At 12pm on ESPN

2015 C Trevor Manuel and his Oak Hill Academy team will play for the DICK’s Sporting Goods HS National Championship today at 12pm at Madison Square Garden. Oak Hill will play Montverde Academy who beat Jalen Lindsey’s Huntington Prep squad last night in the semifinals.

Manuel is the 50th ranked player in the Class of 2015 according to ESPN and 54th ranked by Rivals.com. The Lansing, MI product has offers from Eastern Michigan, Michigan State, NC State, Providence and Wake Forest.

Here is his ESPN Scouting Report:

SCOUTING REPORT

ESPN Analyst
Updated 01/29/2014

Strengths:
Trevor is an extremely skilled and long forward who is more of a 4-man now but with definite small forward potential. He can handle it, pass it and shoot it. He has the ability to play the 3, 4 or 5 right now. He’s only going to get better.

Weaknesses:
Despite all the talent, Trevor tends to disappear at times during games. He needs to increase his motor and be more assertive and aggressive on the floor.

Bottom Line:
Overall Trevor has some of the most upside of anyone in the 2015 class. As he learns to take over games and get his motor going full time he will become special. He’ll have his pick of colleges.

Recruiting News: Rivals Top 150 In Class Of 2015 Released Today

Eric Bossi over at Rivals.com released his updated ranking for the Class of 2015 today. There are a number of PC recruits/targets within the top 150 but one noticeable snub was 2015 commit Ryan Fazekas. I have a feeling he will be in the top 150 after the AAU season finishes though. He has been trending up ever since committing to PC in October.
