Boxscore

With Ben Bentil and Paschal Chukwu having visa/clearinghouse issues and not making the trip and Jalen Lindsey being home in Tennessee with mononucleosis, the only member of the highly touted incoming freshman class that will compete in Italy is point guard Kyron Cartwright. Cartwright figures to play heavy minutes as the staff is being extremely cautious by not playing Kris Dunn as he continues to recover from his second shoulder surgery in 13 months. Aside from basketball there are a ton of cultural and education experiences planned. A good outline of those was done by Danny James over at CoxHub. You can find that by click this link.

If you are looking for updates on Twitter, the hashtag #CiaoFriars will be used heavily by CoxHub. The standard #pcbb will still be used as well so you can keep an eye on both. One emerging one so far has also been #pcbbDoesItaly so check that one too.

Three Freshman Won’t Make Italy Trip

1 Comment

Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal is reporting that 3 of the 4 incoming freshman will not travel with the team to Italy next week. Jalen Lindsey has become ill in the last few days and foreign born big men Paschal Chukwu and Ben Bentil have yet to be fully cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse. As McNamara points out in his article, the Clearinghouse typically takes a longer look at foreign born players to be sure they haven’t competed in any professional capacity prior to coming to the United States.

It’s another frustrating turn of events for Ed Cooley and his staff especially because Chukwu and Bentil are both strong students and are just wrapping up a successful summer session at PC. This now means the active body contingent for the Friars in Italy will consist of 6 scholarship players and 2 walk ons. Kris Dunn will be held out of game action as a precaution andTed Bancroft has an injured shoulder  which leaves just Rodney Bullock, Kyron Cartwright, Carson Desrosiers, Tyler Harris, LaDontae Henton and Junior Lomomba as the 6 available scholarship players to go along with walk-on’s Tom Planek and Casey Woodring.

I’ll have a more in depth preview of the Friars’ Italy trip on Monday.
