The search for a point guard is heating up for Ed Cooley and his staff and they have a lot of irons in the fire. They extended another offer to a 2016 lead guard on Monday with Word of God Christian Academy’s Jalen Harris being the recipient. Harris was visited at his home on Sunday by Providence coaches, according to Jamie Shaw of PhenomHoopReport.com. Shaw was the first to report the offer being made and he also tweeted that Harris plans to visit Providence officially on October 9th.

Providence Recruiting Update: Friars Out for Jackson, Will Visit Marfo
August in recruiting means players are cutting and narrowing their lists and schools are trying to make their pitches to get those players onto their campuses for official visits. The Friars have been in that rhythm over these last few weeks, both making and missing list cuts. The next step is to get players that included Providence on their lists to campus. So far there are two recruits that have scheduled visits to Friartown — a guard in Shamorie Ponds and a power forward in JJ Matthews. Ponds is also visiting St. John’s and Minnesota after already visiting Creighton. Matthews is visiting Towson and Murray State before his trip to Providence in early October.

Providence Recruiting Update: Providence Hosts Elite Camp, Makes Pair of List Cuts
Providence hosted their annual Elite Camp on August 8th on the school’s campus and this was the first year I attended. A while back when I decided that I would keep that Saturday open so I could attend the camp this year I had ideas in my head of seeing some of Providence’s star recruits in person. That didn’t exactly come to fruition as there were other competing events — namely the Big Strick Classic in NYC — that thinned out the field for the 2015 version of camp. Still, there was a lot to see and some new names that popped up onto my radar. Other recent recruiting news is that the Friars made the top 5 for JJ Matthews and the top 6 for Quentin Jackson. Both players cut down their lists on Monday. More on Elite Camp and these two recruits below.
