2017 Guard Javon Taylor Verbally Commits to Friars
Ed Cooley and the Friar faithful certainly needed a commitment to get the bad taste out of their mouths after Donovan Mitchell pledged to the Louisville Cardinals. I’m sure everyone was thinking the next commit would be from a player in the class of 2015. Instead, class of 2017 member Javon Taylor gave Cooley his verbal commitment after the Elite Camp held on campus on Saturday.
The Friars are hoping there will be another commitment before the weekend ends with 2015 big man Alex Owens on campus.

2015 Boo Williams Guard Kenny Williams Has a Top 7
A few days after Justin Robinson of Boo Williams included the Providence Friars in his freshly cut list, AAU teammate Kenny Williams has included PC in his final 7 of Georgetown, Indiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma State, Providence, VCU and Virginia Tech:

Providence got in a bit late with Williams so I’m a little surprised to see the Friars in his final 7 but you never know with recruiting. The scuttlebutt among the national writers is that Williams favors North Carolina but it appears that they are waiting out two other players in front of him and with Donovan Mitchell on an official visit to Louisville right now, Ed Cooley may be setting his sights on his next target if Mitchell pops for one of the other 4 schools in his final 5.
Williams is a lights out shooter who shot 43.7% from deep during the EYBL regular season and playoffs for Boo Williams while averaging 13 ppg.
The Friars are also in the mix for another member of Boo Williams in Chris Clarke who is planning to cut his list down soon as well.
