3. Paschal Chukwu, Providence
Chukwu is going to have the biggest adjustment of any player on this list when it comes to the level of competition, but his ability to block and changes shots at the rim will be his most immediate impact at Providence. He’s very aggressive patrolling the paint from the weak side, but he also utilizes his shot-blocking prowess to make up for his current lack of strength when defending the ball on the block. While he’s going to need to get stronger, he has an ability to utilize his size and length in order to recover with a block — even when pushed farther under the rim than he would ideally like.

BREAKING: Brice Kofane to Transfer to Monmouth;Will Be Immediately Eligible #pcbb
Brice Kofane has made his decision on where he will spend his last year of eligibility next season after graduation from Providence in May. That 5th year will be spent at Monmouth in the MAAC conference. He will join 2 other players from the class of 2014 for the Hawks including a player PC looked at in Austin Tilghman who is the “brother” of incoming PC big man Ben Bentil.
In 78 career games, Kofane averaged 1.6 ppg, 2.6 rpg and nearly a block/game.
Kofane will be immediately eligible and have one year of eligibility.

BREAKING: PC’s Redshirt Junior, Brice Kofane to Transfer; Will Be Immediately Eligible
I don’t think this news comes as a shock to anyone at Providence. Once he was celebrated as part of Senior Night at the Dunk in early March, the announcement coming just seemed like a formality.
Kofane never really developed into the kind of defensive force that he showed flashes of early in his career. He will graduate this season and be immediately eligible because of the 5th year transfer exemption.
From all accounts, Brice is a great student and teammate and I will be proud to call him a fellow PC alumnus in May.
In 78 career games, Kofane averaged 1.6 ppg, 2.6 rpg and nearly a block/game. He played sparingly this year but was able to make an impact in a few games, especially a crucial 16 minutes off the bench in the Big East Tournament semifinals against Seton Hall.
