Providence Recruiting Guide to the 2nd April 2015 Live Evaluation Period
This is the second of two live evaluation periods in the month of April. A live evaluation period means college coaches are allowed to attend and evaluate recruits. As I did last spring and summer I’ll be providing a guide for fans to follow along and see where Providence’s targets are playing during a given live evaluation period.
I’ll also be doing my best to keep up with the map that tracks where Ed Cooley and his staff are during each live period and any recruiting period in between. This post will be updated as the weekend goes on and more information is known. It should be noted that the basketball team’s end of season banquet is on Saturday, April 25th. Cooley will be off the road for that and also the visit of Washington transfer Nigel Williams-Goss. I expect the assistant coaches will skip the banquet to be out recruiting during this critical live evaluation period.
UPDATE: You can watch live games of the EYBL circuit by clicking this link. The players numbers are next to their names below. Big thanks for Craig Leighton for sending the info about the live stream.

Providence Reaches Out To Miami (FL) Transfer Manu Lecomte
Adam Zagoria reported that Providence is among a group of schools to recently reach out to Miami (FL) transfer Manu Lecomte. Lecomte is leaving Miami after two seasons and 71 games played.

2015 Ricky Council Makes It Official, Signs National Letter of Intent with Providence
Ricky Council made his commitment to Providence official on Wednesday by signing his National Letter of Intent. Council joins a 4-player class coming into Friartown in the Fall of 2015. “Ricky will be a great addition to our program,” Ed Cooley said. “Ricky is the type of player who can help our team from the perimeter as he is an elite shooter. He really matured and got stronger over the last year.”
