The first July live evaluation period has arrived and the Providence coaching staff will be out and about stalking down talented future Friars all across the country over the next few days.

The Lumberjacks play in the Big Sky conference. Kithcart has received 10 offers since the first evaluation period in April and 6 of those 10 came from school’s that would be considered high major, including the Friars. Ed Cooley is casting a wide net in his attempt to replace the dynamic Kris Dunn next season and Kithcart likes what Cooley has been saying enough to include Providence as one of the 5 schools that will get an official visit from the North Carolina native.
