Ed Cooley, joined by assistant coach Brian Blaney, were front and center for Vermont Academy’s Sunday game against Commonwealth Academy.

Providence Extends Offer to 2016 Wing Player from Florida
Providence extended an offer to Jonathan Isaac who is a versatile wing/stretch 4 playing for the International School of Broward in Florida.

Providence Offers 2017 Putnam Science Academy (CT) Guard
Hamidou Diallo is a recent transfer to Putnam Science Academy after playing last season in NYC. Diallo reclassified from 2016 to 2017 after making the transfer this summer. Back in late June I told you about Diallo being a new name for Friar fans to watch. He runs with the NYC Jayhawks on the grassroots circuit and recently attended the National Prep Showcase in New Haven, CT.
He made his presence felt there with Rivals.com basketball recruiting analyst Eric Bossi saying the “sophomore shooting guard Hamidou Diallo announced his presence as a high-major prospect notching 21 points and seven rebounds” on the Friday night of the tournament.

Providence Interested in 2015 Guard Kobie Eubanks
Kobie Eubanks was originally part of the class of 2014 and he signed a National Letter of Intent with Baylor in the Spring of 2014. In mid-September of 2014 he was declared academically ineligible to play at Baylor and opted to do a prep year and become part of the class of 2015. His prep year is being done at Elev8 Sports Institute in his native Florida.
This past weekend Elev8 played in New Haven, CT at the National Prep Showcase and Eubanks was impressive. He poured in 37 points in a win against New Hampton School. Evan Daniels of Scout.com said “Eubanks had arguably the best performance of the National Prep Showcase” with those 37 points. The Providence staff attended games at the NPS Friday night ahead of their weekend games at Mohegan Sun in nearby Uncasville, CT.
