While the Providence staff has secured two commitments from top 100 players Jalen Lindsey and Paschal Chukwu as well as Cleveland St. transfer Junior Lomomba, a defensive stopper who has enrolled at Providence and will have three years of eligibility when he begins his career in a Friar uniform for the 2014-2015 season, the staff remains very active in recruiting for both the 2014, 2015, and even 2016 classes. Full team practice is set to begin shortly, but the Providence staff will continue to recruit players from all these classes to continue to build the program. Ed Cooley and his staff have already built relationships with several recruits in the 2015 and 2016 classes that could prove beneficial in the future. However, Providence remains involved with several talented recruits to fill out the 2014 class.
Ben Bentil will visit Providence for a second time in mid October.
As the final days of summer begin to wind down it is time to start turning our attention to Friar Basketball and the 2013-14 season. We will be taking a closer look at the teams in the Big East and we focus on St. John’s. Last season St. John’s finished at 17-16 (8-10) and did not make postseason play. For a look at this upcoming season, and what we can expect from the Red Storm, we have two St. John’s bloggers helping us out for this edition.
