#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 9/12/14

2 Comments

The last week has been pretty quiet on the Providence recruiting front. We haven’t heard about any other players scheduling visits to PC but there have been some Friar recruits who have given their pledges elsewhere. None are earth shattering and some didn’t ever get an official offer from Ed Cooley but commitments are happening fast and furious all over college basketball. Providence currently has 2 open scholarships for the 2015 class with an eye on point guard Justin Robinson to fill one and possibly bank the other to save for a transfer or Spring addition.

Robinson is on his second of five scheduled official visits this weekend. His first visit during Labor Day weekend was to Buzz Williams and Virginia Tech while visit two is taking place at Maryland. Visits 3 through 5 are scheduled thus: Providence 9/19-9/21, Creighton 9/27-9/28 and UNLV 10/3-10/4. I think some people are discounting UNLV and Creighton because Robinson has played his recruitment fairly close to the vest.

#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 9/5/14

2 Comments

Labor Day weekend figured to be quiet with students moving into their dorms on the PC campus but some unexpected news hit that Friday with the apparent addition of German guard Tyree Chambers to the roster for the 2014-15 season.

Chambers visited Providence back in May and an offer was extended about 3 weeks ago. The connection appears to have been fostered by Associate Head Coach Andre LaFleur which is similar to the Kyron Cartwright recruitment. Chambers is at Providence and enrolled in classes but has not yet been given the go ahead by the NCAA Clearinghouse though he told Jeff Ferrucci of ScoutFriars.com “the clearance shouldn’t be a problem because I never signed a contract. I was just a youth player traveling with the team.” There is a highlight video (below) that shows highlights of Chambers playing in the NBBL which he describes as “the highest level for basketball under the age of 19.”
