Big East Announces MLK Day Hoops Marathon for 2016-17 Season
The Big East has said they will release the full conference schedule on Tuesday, but the league announced a bit of a teaser on Monday afternoon. The league will hold their Big East marathon on Martin Luther King, Jr Day this season. The news was reported ahead of the announcement by Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal. The marathon will involve all 10 teams being in action with the first game tipping at 12pm EST and the final matchup getting started at 9pm. The Big East has had some memorable MLK Day matchups, especially in 2011 when a doubleheader featured games between top 10 teams with #5 Pittsburgh beating #3 Syracuse and #8 UConn taking down #7 Villanova. All five games on January 16th will be televised on FS1.

Providence Lands Top Big Man Target in 2017
Ed Cooley should host a top recruit annually on his birthday. 2017 power forward Nate Watson got to Providence on the night of September 9th for his official visit and committed to Cooley and the Friars before heading home the night of September 10th: Cooley’s 47th birthday. The news was first reported by Adam Zagoria. “Coach told me he’d never lost a recruit on his birthday,” Watson told Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal. Watson continued, “he jumped in his (swimming) pool when I gave him the word.” Cooley and his staff prioritized Watson since they offered him a scholarship back in early February, a few weeks before 2017 6’11 center Dajour Dickens committed to the Friars.

Providence Recruiting Update: Class of 2018 Phones Ringing
June 15th at 12:00am marked the first time that coaches could directly contact members of the class of 2018 — rising high school juniors. Ed Cooley and his staff worked the phones all day and reached out to a number of targets. Aside from the fact that the NCAA doesn’t seem to mind teenagers having their phones begin to blow up at midnight on a weeknight, Brian Snow of Scout.com had an interesting perspective on the importance of these June 15th calls:

Providence Sophomore Drew Edwards Out 4-6 Weeks After Knee Surgery
Providence sophomore guard Drew Edwards will be out 4-6 weeks after undergoing knee surgery, according to Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal. Edwards will have the surgery on June 2nd, per a source. Edwards played in 33 games during his rookie season with the Friars and averaged 2.4 points/game and 1.6 rebounds/game. His best game of the season came on December 12th when he poured in a career-best 17 points in a win against Bryant. The play that will stand out the most about Edwards is that he was the in-bounder who dished to Rodney Bullock for the last second layup that beat USC to give Providence their first NCAA Tournament win since 1997.
Edwards is currently back on campus attending summer classes. He will be one of several returning guards vying for increases playing time in 2016-17.
