New Site Feature: Friar Crystal Ball
I’m excited to finally launch a new site feature: Friar Crystal Ball.
First some housekeeping.
You can find the link to this new site feature on the left side of the top menu just below the page header. Clicking on the “Friar Crystal Ball” link will take you to the main page which shows recent picks by class. Or if you are looking for a specific player and know what class he is in, you can hover over the link and you will have 3 options to click: Class of 2015, Class of 2016 and Class of 2017.
All the players listed are PC recruits and all of the people making picks are PC writers/bloggers/insiders. I want to thank Richard Coren, Steve Hartnett, Danny James, Kevin San and our friend FriarTV for being willing to participate and help enhance this site feature.
In addition to this new site feature, there is a site feature that has was launched a couple months back that I haven’t publicized too much but now that the first July live period is upon us, I think it’s a good time to remind you that the “Where is Cooley and the Staff?” feature is also on the top menu and I’ll do my best to keep that updated as I find out where our hard working coaching staff is throughout the month of July and beyond.

Recruiting News: Scout.com Class Of 2016 Top 75 Recruit Rankings Released
Scout.com updated and expanded their class of 2016 rankings. The previous rankings only had a top 50. A number of PC targets made the list.
Scout.com’s Evan Daniels talks about one PC target who made a move into the top 10:
Simmons, at 6-foot-4, is a true combination guard that can fill the role as scorer or distributor. He’s very quick and is a high-level athlete. Much like Smith, Simmons is tough to stop in transition. He’s an improved mid-range scorer and has good vision.

#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 7/3/14
With Friday being the 4th of July I am releasing the weekly recruiting update a day earlier than normal. This weekly update will return to it’s normally scheduled Friday next week. This will be the final recruiting update prior to the first July live period which begins at 5pm on July 9th. For more information on the recruiting calendar over the next few weeks, check out this page.
News came down Wednesday afternoon that Josh Fortune was transferring to Colorado. This ends one of the more bizarre and confusing player transfers I’ve ever seen and I doubt the real reasons will ever be truly made public. Whatever the reasons, it seems Fortune was looking for a fresh start and he will get that at Colorado which is much further from his home than Providence, for what that’s worth.
Fortune leaving has left a bit of a hole at the shooting guard position. After the various swings and misses this spring, Ed Cooley and his staff are apparently on the fence about bringing someone in at this late stage. I’m told that Armel Potter is anxious to have the PC coaches watch him play live which is something that hasn’t happened as of yet. Potter is mulling over possibly playing somewhere during the July live periods but no decision has been made on that. I was told that Potter hasn’t spoken with Cooley yet but I get the sense that if Cooley calls with an offer, Potter will be on the next plane to Friartown. The former Florida Atlantic commit has offers from Appalachian State, Ball State, Iona, Niagara, Tennessee Tech and some other mid majors.
