Providence Recruiting Update: Big Man Search Going South

When I last posted a recruiting update 7 days ago it was on the heels of Providence hosting their annual Late Night Madness festivities. The Friars had top big man target Sedee Keita in town for his official visit that weekend  and made their big push to get the Delaware native to commit before leaving campus. That big push didn’t yield a commitment and soon after Keita left Friartown a bevy of new names emerged with Providence interest or offers. The spigot of new names is still open. Adam Finkelstein reported on Tuesday that Keita has transferred back down to 22ft Academy — the South Carolina school he attended last year prior to coming back to New England at Putnam Science Academy.

Providence Recruiting Update: Sedee Keita and New Offers, Interest

Providence held their Late Night Madness event over the weekend and there was an impressive turnout of recruits in attendance. Among them were a pair of 2016 big men in Sedee Keita and Isaiah Whaley. Keita is a known target that the Friar coaching staff has been chasing hard for awhile now. Whaley is a name many Friar fans may not have heard. Jeff Battle began expressing interest in Whaley back in June but the Friars didn’t offer until this weekend. The Friars offered another big man on Monday in Serbian Nik Popovic and they are reported to have interest in Sudanese big man Gorjok Gak. More on all and more below.
