Eric Bossi over at Rivals.com released his updated ranking for the Class of 2015 today. There are a number of PC recruits/targets within the top 150 but one noticeable snub was 2015 commit Ryan Fazekas. I have a feeling he will be in the top 150 after the AAU season finishes though. He has been trending up ever since committing to PC in October.

Last week I had posted about 2014 PG Kyron Cartwright who got his full release from Loyola Marymout University after the firing of Coach Max Good. For more information on that and to see the ESPN scouting report of Cartwright, click here.
The Friars and Ed Cooley have at least 2 open scholarships for the 2014-2015 season with the likelihood being that they will have 3 with Brice Kofane graduating in May and using his 5th year of eligibility elsewhere. The thought process is that PC will use 2 of those 3 potential available scholarships on guards. Don’t be surprised if Cartwright gives his pledge to Cooley this weekend while on campus.
Now that the conference tournaments are over and the dust has settled after the NCAA Tournament selections have been made, the coaching carousel has begun. There have already been a few guys that got the axe including Steve Donohue at Boston College. But one particular coaching change of interest to PC in terms of recruiting is Max Good being let go by Loyola Marymout University. Because of this, a 2014 PG has returned to the market after getting a full release.
Kyron Cartwright is a 5’11 165 lb left handed lead guard from Compton, CA. When he decided on a school in November, he picked LMU over Grand Canyon, a for-profit school where Dan Majerle is the head coach in their first season going from Division II to Divison I this season. Cartwight’s brother, Bryce, played his last 2 years at Iowa after transferring in from a JC. According to Scout.com’s Evan Daniels, KC has early interest from Providence after getting his full release on Tuesday. He wants to make a pretty quick decision and is hoping to get away from home this time:

Cushing was able to take down Abdul Malik Abu and Kimball Union in the championship game behind Kaleb Joseph and Adams’ stellar play. Adams took home playoff MVP.

For Brewster, Donovan Mitchell and Devonte Graham, both PC targets, were impressive during the playoffs and especially in clutch moments. Mitchell calmly nailed 4 consecutive free throws at the end of the championship game to defeat New Hampton and Graham was able to answer every time New Hampton appeared to be pulling away in the first half.

Brewster wasn’t done with the NEPSAC. They continued their winning ways taking down St. Thomas More to take home their 2nd National Prep Championship in 4 years. Adam Finkelstein had this to say about PC targets Graham, Mitchell and Reuter:

Paschal Chukwu and the Jesuits of Fairfield Prep will look to avenge their loss last year in the SCC finals as they will take on reigning champ, Hillhouse. It took overtime last year to determine a winner between these two and I think that’s a possibility tonight. Chukwu got into early foul trouble in the semifinal game which turned into often foul trouble, eventually fouling out with 5 minutes remaining in the game against Wilbur-Cross. Despite being on the bench for a large chunk of that game, Chukwu still managed 11 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks. Click here for a summary of the SCC playoffs.
