Providence Recruits to Play in 2015 adidas Nations Camp in California

Providence recruits will take part in the 2015 adidas Nations Camp this weekend. The camp will be held in Long Beach, CA from July 31st-August 3rd and is broken up into teams by country/continent/region. There are 4 USA teams and players range from the classes of 2016 to 2018. There are also college players who work the camp as counselors and URI’s Hassan Martin has been selected to be one of them. EC Matthews of URI attended last year and was invited back this year but declined so he can focus on healing after having hand surgery in the offseason. Seton Hall guard Isaiah Whitehead will also attend this year as a counselor. Kris Dunn attended this camp back in the summer of 2011 while still an uncommitted recruit. Coaches are not allowed to attend this camp as we are currently in a recruiting dead period on July 31st and then a recruiting quiet period beginning on August 1st.

Here are the Providence recruits who are at the camp this weekend:

The ideal scenario for the Friars would be to get Jones on campus around August 8th when they plan to host their annual Elite Camp. Jones decommitted from the Aztecs at the end of June shortly after receiving a qualifying SAT score. He originally committed to Steve Fisher on July 31, 2014 and signed a National Letter of Intent in November 2014.

Providence Recruiting Update: July Recap, Stock Risers & Wenyen Gabriel

The three live evaluation periods of July are now in the books and the Providence coaching staff logged some heavy frequent flier miles tracking their coveted recruits. Ed Cooley spent much of his time sitting front and center at all Mass Rivals games. Rivals features a number of Providence targets but the grand prize in 2016 is Wenyen Gabriel. Gabriel got the Donovan Mitchell treatment in July. More on that later.
