Recruiting News: Rivals Class Of 2016 Top 150 Updated Post-Summer
ESPN and Scout.com released their updated recruit rankings for the class of 2016 after the summer grassroots season and now it’s time for Rivals to follow suit. ESPN and Scout had differing views on most of the Providence recruits within their Top 100’s. Rivals’ rankings mirror those of ESPN with Wenyen Gabriel jumping from the 80’s to 17. There is also a Friar recruit who is visiting Providence in October that is making his debut in Rivals’ Top 150 in Maliek White and Kevin Marfo rounds out the Top 150 in the final slot. Providence is visiting him at his school on September 9th.

Recruiting News: Scout.com Released Post-Summer Class Of 2016 Top 100 Recruit Rankings
The same day that ESPN released their update class of 2016 Top 100 list after the summer grassroots season Scout.com also came out with their updated rankings. Wenyen Gabriel was a major mover in the Scout.com rankings and is the only player to be a new 5-star recruit since the last update. He also catapulted in the top 10 in Scout’s ranking after not even being ranked last time Scout released a Top 100 for this class. Gabriel’s rise has been meteoric.
Scout.com showed more love for Gabriel but not quite as much for other Providence recruits. Bruce Brown and Shamorie Ponds were much more highly thought of in ESPN’s version of rankings while Sedee Keita was ranked 80th overall in ESPN’s and not even close to the top 100 in Scout.com’s. Keita is listed as a 2-star recruit in Scout.com’s database. Having seen him play I don’t see how that’s possible.

Recruiting News: ESPN Released Post-Summer Top 100 for Class of 2016
With the grassroots season coming to a conclusion at the end of July ESPN has released their updated class of 2016 recruit rankings and there are a number of Providence recruiting targets that are in this latest version of ESPN’s Top 100. It’s no surprise who one of the biggest risers in the rankings is with Wenyen Gabriel jumping 60 spots from 83 to 23. ESPN’s Reggie Rankin also spotlighted Friar recruit JJ Matthews a couple of weeks ago as a player that raised his stock enough to possibly break into the Top 100 after the spring and summer. He apparently was on the cusp but not in the Top 100. Matthews is scheduled to visit Providence on October 3rd, along with River City Reign teammate Maliek White. The Big East also has gotten a solid haul already from the ESPN Top 100 in 2016.
Here are some details from ESPN’s latest Class of 2016 Top 100:
